Published on:

The British spy who was at the heart of the Donald Trump ‘dirty dossier’ controversy earned over a million pounds in two years by helping the FBI with FIFA information.

Christopher Steele, a former MI6 spy runs an intelligence agency in the UK named Orbis Business Intelligence.

The company helped FBI uncover the dirty politics and games that were going on inside FIFA under Sepp Blatter.

Orbis uncovered corruption in football’s governing body that led to the resignation and arrest of top officials including disgraced president Blatter.

It was Steele’s uncovering of FIFA scandal that also gave credibility to his Trump story from Russia, US officials have said.
