FIDE's Ethics Commission has found Kasparov and Leong guilty of violating the FIDE Moral Code. Ahead of last year's presidential poll, Kasparov, bidding for the office, and then General Secretary Ignatius Leong made a deal in which Kasparov paid Leong $500,000 so that Singapore voted for him.

Well, his U.S. friends and sponsors in Wash. D.C. and Langley are so concerned about corruption in sports that
he´ll probably be arrested tomorrow.  ;D

I'm just wondering why the so called "democratic opposition" (usually supported by one or more western powers) are so often get involved in corruption scandals ;)?

It's simple, they're "fighting" corruption because they're corrupt and stupid enough to judge others through projection of own personality. Freud would be pleased.

...stupid enough to judge others through projection of own personality...

Psychopaths and homicidal maniacs rely on this elementary fact to get elected to office in so called democracies. Then when their war scams and other frauds fail it´s never because they´re certifiable along with other nutcases of the same ilk that "advise" them and write up policy for them, but always due to "incompetence". It´s a cover that the dumbasses that vote for these fruitcakes can easily relate to, move on and then vote in the next psychotic batch.

Seems this dude give no word against Israel :)
