October 28 – The executive chairman of Mexican media giants Televisa, Emilio Azcarraga, is stepping down from Grupo Televisa SAB in the wake of the FBI’s bribery probe into broadcast rights sales for FIFA World Cup matches. The resignation comes with immediate effect.
The shock decision comes amidst a US Justice Department investigation into the corporation’s dealings in international football. A court filing last Thursday states that Televisa continues to participate with the probe.
