World football governing body, FIFA has confirmed former executive committee member, Dr Amos Adamu is subject to investigations by the organisation’s ethics committee.
Adamu received a three-year ban and 10,000 Swiss Franc (£6,341) fine from FIFA’s ethics committee after being found guilty of breaching bribery rules on November 18, 2010.
The ban followed a Sunday Times expose which alleged the Adamu had asked for cash in return for 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes.
However, the committee had announced they “did not find sufficient grounds to reach a conclusion that there was any collusion”.
But now the investigatory chamber of the independent ethics committee has confirmed that proceedings are ongoing against Adamu.
“Formal investigation proceedings relating to the suspicion of infringements of the FIFA Code of Ethics are amongst others ongoing against Worawi Makudi, Jeffrey Webb, Ricardo Teixeira, Amos Adamu, Eugenio Figueredo and Nicolás Leoz,” a statement on FIFA website reads.
“Proceedings relating to the two officials Ángel María Villar Llona and Franz Beckenbauer have already been passed on to the adjudicatory chamber. For procedural reasons, no further names of other parties affected by the proceedings are currently being disclosed.”
