FIFA prosecutor Michael Garcia wants more details published about football corruption cases.
Speaking at FIFA headquarters, Garcia describes a "disconnect" in public confidence because of confidentiality rules demanded by the football body's code of ethics.
FIFA rules require his reports investigating the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding contests and FIFA executive committee members' behavior to stay secret.
Garcia says the FIFA code could be revised to give more details of "charges, decisions, and basis of decisions."
The former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York says that office was respected for its openness and track record.
Comparing American criminal process with FIFA's ethics court, Garcia says "there could be little support from a public that was so little informed."
