The governing body for world football will have to release the documents which could expose top officials after a Swiss court dismissed an appeal from a related party .The Supreme Court of the Canton of Zug has ordered Fifa to release the documents pertaining to the controversial ISL case.The world football\'s governing body had initially planned to release the information at an executive committee meeting in Japan on December 17, but legal action taken by a third party involved in the scandal forced it to postpone the decision for an indefinite period.According to the BBC, the documents show that former Fifa president Joao Havelange and Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) president Ricardo Teixeira took millions of dollars in kickbacks from bankrupt World Cup broadcaster ISL.The duo reportedly admitted to taking kickbacks in June 2010 and repaid the money on condition that their identities remained anonymous.Fifa president Sepp Blatter maintains that the Zug court cleared him of any wrongdoings, but the files could potentially shed some light on whether he was aware of kickbacks being paid to top officials in the organisation.Fifa has 30 days to appeal against the decision to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, located in Lausanne.
