FIFA bribery probe shut down after Warner walks away

JACK WARNER, the man at the centre of the FIFA bribery scandal, yesterday resigned from all his positions in international football saying he had been “hung out to dry”.

Warner, the longest-serving member of FIFA’s executive committee, had been suspended pending the outcome of a bribery inquiry.

FIFA said the ethics committee procedures against him “have been closed and the presumption of innocence is maintained”.
