Critical of FIFA, Publishers Flee

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/09/sports/soccer/critical-of-fifa-publishers-flee.html?ref=world

David and Vicki Legge are publishers of the only newspaper in the Cayman Islands. After the FIFA scandal erupted into every major newspaper in the world, it was expected of the Cayman Compass to report on it. Especially considering how closely tied the paper is to some of the executives involved in the scandal.

The article published by the Legges instigated a further inquisition into the scandal by Cayman authorities. Alden McLaughlin, a FIFA executive involved in the scandal, called the article an act of treason. This was taken as a serious threat by the publishers of the article, causing them to pack up and move to Fort Lauderdale, FL. The Legges are currently under police protection until the matter is resolved.
