Mohamed Bin Hammam tried to bribe officials in his campaign to oust Sepp Blatter as FIFA president, according to a secret report by the organisation’s ethics committee obtained by Britain’s Press Association.
There was “comprehensive, convincing and overwhelming” evidence against Bin Hammam, the head of the Asian Football Confederation, and former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner was “an accessory to corruption”, the report said.
FIFA announced on Monday that Warner had resigned as FIFA vice-president and quit all football-related activities. The governing body also said it had dropped all investigations into the Trinidadian and that “the presumption of innocence is maintained”.
