Description
Sport is a multi-billion euro business, and it involves private and political interests. Consequently, it is a field that unavoidably gives place to opportunities for corruption. The worrying number of recent scandals (for instance, the FIFA case) across many sports damages not only the image of sport, but compromises the positive influence sport has in spreading the values of good sportsmanship and integrity, especially for young people. An even bigger negative impact is provoked by doping. How is corruption in sport evolving into a global public policy issue? What are the key points in criminal defence work? The session, focusing on these original and relevant issues, will consider this issue depth, with multidisciplinary contributions and references to real court cases.
