Unpaid Salary: Sepp Blatter

Sepp Blatter: Zahir Belounis, who is under contract to Qatari side Al-Jaish until 2015, has been denied the chance to leave the country because he is suing the club in order to recover his unpaid salary, according to Times Colonist. "FIFPro insists that Belounis be allowed to leave Qatar and receive his wages immediately," the Netherlands-based union said in a statement and GENEVA - FIFA President Sepp Blatter has been urged to step in and help resolve a contractual dispute which has trapped a player for two years in Qatar, the host nation of the 2022 World Cup. FIFPro, the international union for footballers, said Wednesday it made a "desperate bid" to enlist Blatter's help for the French-Algerian player's "precarious situation." (www.immigrantscanada.com).
