There is a tradition of corruption when it comes to world cup hosting. These are the events for which the JD feels it has evidence and for which a claim could be made about the involvement of US financial institutions (hence localizing the corruption on US soil).

It does not mean Qatar/Russia campaigns were corruption free. They do not have the evidence for it, or have not yet found a localization (US) vector that could aid in prosecution. My personal opinion is there was corruption (as normal) for both Russia and Qatar, but especially Qatar. The Jeremy Schapp ESPN documentary gives you a peek into things, including the bribing of local African football association officials.
