FIFA committee: Warner was 'accessory to corruption'

There is “comprehensive, convincing and overwhelming” evidence that FIFA member Mohamed Bin Hammam tried to bribe officials during his presidential campaign and that Jack Warner was “an accessory to corruption”, according to a secret report by FIFA’s ethics committee.

FIFA announced on Monday that Warner had resigned as FIFA vice-president and quit all football activities, and the world governing body said they had dropped all investigations into him and that “the presumption of innocence is maintained”.
