South Africa's judicial experiment with its special 'World Cup Courts' is drawing plenty of heat in the international press as swift sentences, of up to 15 years imprisonment, mostly to foreigners, have been handed down by the special World Cup courts. And that's not all, some are livid that the courts appear to be tied way too close and are, in effect, acting as a strongarm mafia for the commercial interests of FIFA, the governing body for world soccer. For instance two Dutch women are appearing in court today on charges of ambush marketing and face six months in prison. The Dutch women were handcuffed after 36 cute, young blondes were caught in the stands at a World Cup match, wearing the bright orange mini skirts of Dutch brewer, Bavaria. However, the brewer’s logo was tiny and barely visible - yet the women were accused of violating the monopoly of the official FIFA sponsors. The Foreign Minister of the Netherlands, got in the fray and announced that it was “disproportionate” to arrest the two Dutch women and put them on trial for breaching the monopoly of a World Cup sponsor.
