Sepp Blatter had made the news lately after the FBI recently uncovered alleged corruptions in FIFA including fraudulent marketing and television rights, ticket scams, rigged presidential elections and bribery in the awarding of host cities.
The Swiss police have raided a luxury hotel in Switzerland on May 27, arresting seven FIFA executives but two days later, Blatter won the presidential election for a fifth time. Four days later, amid the controversy, Blatter said he will step down from his post which he held on for 17 years. The former Swiss watchmaking executive has worked for FIFA for 40 years.
According to the article in El Mundo, the 79-year-old Blatter had a relationship with the Russian model after dating tennis player Ilona Boguska. The short-lived romance with Irina Shayk was followed with a relationship with 50-year-old Linda Barras.
