Warner’s empire crumbling as FIFA charges 16
KEIR RADNEDGE reporting

LONDON/ZURICH, Aug 11: FIFA moved to pull apart the Caribbean foundation of Jack Warner’s powerbase when the Ethics Committee charged 16 officials from 11 national associations over the notorious Bin Hammam bribery scandal.

The president of the Asian confederation was banned for life – a punishment against which he is appealing – over monies paid to officials from the Caribbean Football Union when he was challenging Sepp Blatter for the FIFA presidency.

Bin Hammam says he paid money for expenses over for distribution under the aegis of Warner, then president of CONCACAF, to delegates at an election conference in Port of Spain, Trinidad, on May 10 and 11. The FIFA Ethics Committee later convicted Bin Hammam on bribery charges he continues to deny.

Logically, it followed that anyone who accepted the money was open to charge of accepting bribes in direct contravention of Article 10 of the FIFA Code of Ethics. This lays down that: “Officials are not permitted to accept gifts and other benefits that exceeed the average relative value of local cultural customs from any third parties. If in doubt, gifts shall be declined.”

The most clearcut insistence in Article 10 is its concluding sentence: “Accepting gifts of cash in any amount or form is prohibited.”

Already, one of of the officials concerned, Colin Klass of Guyana, has been provisionally suspended from taking part in any football-related activity by the chairman of the Ethics Committee, Claudio Sulser (Switzerland). FIFA said, in a statement, that this had followed “consideration of the specific information received on this matter.”

FIFA said that Judge Robert Torres, a member of the Ethics Committee, has been entrusted by the committee with supervising and directing an investigation conducted by former FBI director Louis Freeh. A statement noted that “the Ethics Committee will contact the 16 officials to arrange further interviews in connection with these proceedings. It is important to note that the investigations are still ongoing, and that it is therefore possible that further proceedings could be opened in the future.”

The 16 officials are as follows: David Hinds and Mark Bob Forde (Barbados), Franka Pickering and Aubrey Liburd (British Virgin Islands) David Frederick (Cayman Islands), Osiris Guzman and Felix Ledesma (Dominican Republic), Colin Klass and Noel Adonis (Guyana), Yves Jean-Bart (Haiti), Anthony Johnson (St Kitts and Nevis), Patrick Mathurin (St Lucia), Joseph Delves and Ian Hypolite (St Vincent and the Grenadines), Richard Groden (Trinidad and Tobago) plus Hillaren Frederick (US Virgin Islands).
