FIFA President Sepp Blatter defended his role in a World Cup kickbacks scandal on Thursday July 12, 2012, after his former boss Joao Havelange was formally identified for taking millions of dollars in payments from marketing deals. FIFA published a Swiss prosecutor's report on Wednesday confirming that Havelange accepted kickbacks in the 1990s during Blatter's 17-year stint serving him as FIFA's top administrator. Asked if he knew that Havelange took kickbacks from disgraced marketing agency ISL, Blatter said "commission" payments were legal in Switzerland in the 1990s. (AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus,File)
