Peter Hargitay - Spindoctor to the world

He also set up another website where he boasted that he could access other peoples’ bank accounts. ‘We invade a system of injustice and operate from within the eye of the cyclone… We investigate the persecutors and publish their foreign bank accounts.’

Hargitay then set up his ‘European Communications & Research Think Tank’ that promised to deliver ‘sensitive investigative data to clients.’

It didn’t – and soon disappeared.

Next came Hargitay’s European Consultancy Network – ECN, based in London. He advertised for clients, promising that he could prepare ‘news items and alternative scoops that would divert, detract and destabilise imminent media interest.’ He has been very successful.

On his headed notepaper Hargitay listed Marc Berlin, Peter Wilson MBE and composer Richard Blackford as ECN company directors. A check at Hargitay’s Companies House filings showed that they were not.

As Blatter became embattled in FIFA House, accused of corruption and arrogance, he hired Hargitay as his ‘Special Advisor’ to divert reporters from his failings.

Hargitay then turned up at De Montfort University to lecture to students studying sport management (See page 2, col 2)

He also wrote secret reports for Blatter about other professors who were critical of the FIFA president.
