Enquanto as autoridades tentavam entender o que havia acontecido, trabalhadores, engenheiros, bombeiros e aqueles que viviam na área foram abandonados ao seu destino. A explosão colocou o mundo à beira da aniquilação nuclear, contaminando mais da metade da Europa com a precipitação radioativa.
"In The Dirty Game, investigative reporter and BBC Panorama presenter Andrew Jennings, who has been heralded around the world for his decade-long pursuit of this story, uncovers the eye-watering level of fraud and criminal activity at the heart of FIFA, which has been described as the biggest sporting scandal of the century. From Blatter to Blazer, from bribery to embezzlement, Jennings reveals the key protagonists, crimes and evidence he handed to the FBI which led to the arrests of FIFA executive and the resignation of Sepp Blatter. Written in a gripping narrative, and based on years of research and never-before-seen documents, this is the definitive portrait of the downfall of FIFA, and the men who stole football."
