FIFA drops charges against official in Cayman and St.Vincent & the Grenadines
FIFA has dropped cases against David Fredericks of the Cayman Islands and Joseph Delves of St. Vincent and the Grenadines because they had left the sport. This as FIFA continue its bribery case involving former FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam.
FIFA in a statement said, should fredricks and Delves return to football official positions, their cases would be examined again by the ethics committee.
FIFA did not give the officials the same “presumption of innocence” it accorded Warner in June when the 28-year executive committee veteran resigned rather than face sanctions.
Since the bribery scandal broke in May, the CONCACAF continental body has seen its top three elected Caribbean officials — Warner, Burrell and Lisle Austin — either resign while under investigation or be banned by FIFA.
