体坛英语新闻:FIFA warns World Cup marketing "criminals"

2010-06-18来源:和谐英语
The two organizers' strategy included disguising the local girls as Danish fans (covering their orange dresses).

Another ploy was to use a decoy group "to divert the attention of FIFA and safety and security authorities to another area while the big group entered the stadium through another side, and then compelling them to lie to the police about the organizers' involvement in the activity."

In addition they obtained tickets from unauthorized sources, said FIFA.

SAPA reported that Two Dutch women, Barbara Castelein and Mirte Nieuwpoort, appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday. The face charges of contravening the South African Merchandise Marks Act.

The orange mini-skirts were handed out in Bavaria gift packs in Holland ahead of the World Cup.

FIFA said in its statement that it has filed charges against the organizers of the ambush marketing stunt.

"No charges have been filed against the young South African women used in this illicit activity," FIFA said.

"FIFA is looking into all civil remedies available and will await the outcome of the criminal case currently being run by the South African police service."
