FIFA had “compelling” evidence that Mohamed bin Hammam and Jack Warner conspired to bribe voters in the organization’s presidential election before it suspended them from world football’s governing body.
FIFA’s ethics committee concluded that the allegations bin Hammam offered $40,000 cash payments to Caribbean officials “constitute prima facie an act of bribery.”
A report into Warner’s case, seen by The Associated Press, said the then-FIFA vice president was an accessory to bribery who offered “mere self-serving declarations” at a hearing last month.
The 17-page document was sent last week to Warner, a 28-year veteran of FIFA’s ruling executive committee who led the North, Central American and Caribbean regional body since 1990.
Days later, the Trinidad and Tobago government minister quit his football positions while insisting that he would have been “fully exonerated by any objective arbiter.”
