Kolesnikov denies charges of bribing officials of UEFA
Allegations about bribery by Ukraine, UEFA officials to obtain the right to host the country's European Championship in 2012 are not true, said Vice-Premier of Ukraine for Euro-2012 Boris Kolesnikov.
According to German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung, a board member of the Football Association of Cyprus Spyros Marangos said that five senior officials of UEFA have received 11 million euros for their votes in favor of a joint proposal from Poland and Ukraine, which are granted the right to host Euro-2012.
Kolesnikov said that the statements of Marangosa - it is nothing more than "internal clashes between the Cypriot football functionaries."
"This statement already three years. If there was even a particle of truth, no championship, we would not have been," - said Kolesnikov.
Recall, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) believe baseless allegations of corruption in determining the countries that will receive the final of the UEFA European Football Championship 2012.
