Fifa scandal: Former VP Jack Warner banned for life

September 29, 2015 16:57

Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner has been banned for life by governing body's ethics committee, more than four years after quitting football.

Warner has been beset by allegations of corruption and in 2013 was found guilty by an 'integrity committee' of defrauding Concacaf and Fifa. He was one of several current or former senior football officials arrested this summer over alleged fraud dating back decades. He is also facing criminal charges in the United States over an alleged 100 million Pound fraud.

Warner's ban begins at the same time as Fifa's ethics committee examines evidence that could lead to the suspension of Blatter and Michel Platini over a 1.3m suspected criminal payment to the Uefa president.

The ethics committee previously chose not to pursue a case against Warner, the former president of Concacaf, because he was no longer involved in football.
