The German football federation president, Reinhard Grindel, resigned on Tuesday, bowing to increasing pressure following allegations of undeclared earnings, the receipt of a luxury watch and general discontent with his leadership.

Grindel, who promised greater transparency after taking over in April 2016, apologized for accepting a watch worth about €6,000 from the Ukrainian businessman Grigoriy Surkis - a Uefa vice president and executive committee member.

The New Yorker, May 13, 2019, p.48:

[Julius] Malema’s campaign billboards advertise him as a “son of the soil,” but he drives a Mercedes-Benz and wears a seventeen-thousand-dollar Breitling watch. In 2009, fending off accusations of corruption, he told the South African journalist Debora Patta that he identified with the underprivileged. “I am the poor,” he said.

From the NY Times:

Aaron Zebley, a top prosecutor in the special counsel’s office, is so close with his former boss, Robert S. Mueller III, that he wears the same kinds of pinstripe suits, white dress shirts and Casio watch.
