A Fifa report seen by the Press Association
says there is “overwhelming evidence” that Mohamed bin Hammam Wholesale Soccer Jersey Supplier
used bribery in his presidential campaign.The ethics committee also stated that
former Fifa vice-president Jack Warner was “an accessory to corruption”.
Warner resigned from his role on Monday and
quit all football activities.As a result, football’s governing body dropped all
investigations into Warner, adding that “the presumption of innocence is
maintained”.However, the full report of the ethics committee headed by Namibian
judge Petrus Damaseb Italian
Serie A Soccer Jerseys said there was “comprehensive, convincing and
overwhelming” proof that bribes had been paid to officials to support Bin
Hammam’s campaign for the Fifa presidency, and that Warner had facilitated
this.Both 68-year-old Warner, from Trinidad and Tobago, and Qatar’s Bin Hammam,
62, were provisionally suspended on 29 May.Bin Hammam withdrew as a candidate
in the Fifa presidential race against Sepp Blatter on the morning of his ethics
committee hearing on 29 May. Both Bin Hammam and Warner deny the
allegations.The 17-page Fifa report was faxed to Warner on 14 June.
Three days later, he informed Fifa he was
quitting.The report obtained by the Press Association concludes that there was
“compelling” evidence that Bin Hammam and Warner arranged a special meeting of
the 25 members of the Caribbean Football Union [CFU] on 10 and 11 May in Trinidad
and that, with their knowledge, cash gifts were handed over.Statements from
witnesses, contained in the report, said they were handed brown envelopes each
containing 40,000 US dollars. One of the witnesses, Fred Lunn from the Bahamas,
photographed the cash before returning it.The document also stated that four
witnesses claimed that Warner told the CFU delegates on 11 May that the “money
for the ‘gifts’ allegedly distributed AC
Milan Jerseys Soccer the day before had been apparently provided by
Mr Bin Hammam”.Warner’s evidence to the 29 May hearing is described as “mere
self-serving declarations” and that he “failed to provide the Fifa ethics
committee with a plausible explanation”.Bin Hammam said in a statement: “There
is nothing I can say more than I deny the allegations and insist that I have
not done anything wrong during the special Congress at Trinidad.”Damian
Collins, the Tory MP who is campaigning for a reform of Fifa, believes the case
against Warner should be re-opened.
“This makes Fifa’s claim that Warner can be
presumed innocent absolutely incredible,” he said. “I believe Jack Warner
should be made to answer these charges – it’s not enough just for him to
resign.”This shows it was a big error of judgement by Sepp Blatter to call off
the inquiry and cover this up.”Fifa should also confirm Mohamed Bin Hammam
Inzaghi
Jerseys 9 should not similarly be allowed to resign in return for
having the investigation dropped.”
