Zurich — FIFA is working with informers inside organized crime syndicates to help protect the World Cup from match-fixing and betting plots.FIFA's security director Chris Eaton outlined a strategy on Thursday for soccer's world governing body to attempt to stop the fixing of international matches that results in millions in profit."What we're doing now is developing sources both in criminal organizations and football that will advise us," Eaton said in an interview published by FIFA's website."We are creating a hostile environment for match-fixers to make them realize we will expose them, name them, and make them subject to investigation somewhere in the world."FIFA's pro-active plan to get information from inside crime syndicates is a direct response to its 208 national member bodies being targeted to help fixing plots.
