Joorabchian Who?

Hmm...I have been reading reports that a Brazilian judge has ordered the capture of Kia Joorabchian for money laundering. He is suspected to have been making use of the Brazilian side Corinthians (where Tevez once played for) for illegal dealings. I have no idea who is right and who is wrong. But honestly, it just seems extremely weird to me. Ain't money laundering supposed to be something done behind everyone's backs? It should be keep hush hush and secret right? So IF Joorabchian is really doing it, why in the world is he using the world's most popular sport and making use of two of the most famous players in Latin America plus the most popular sports league in the world to perform his underhanded operations??? That way, won't the whole world (aside from Americans) know about his supposed dealings?
