CONCACAF is suing California company Cartan Tours over allegations of kickbacks involving two of the footballing body's former executives. An AP report (h/t Fox Sports) confirmed the news and provided additional details.
CONCACAF's lawsuit extends beyond Cartan Tours, a Los Angeles-based company. As well as citing the company's owner and an additional unnamed executive, "three related companies" are included in the allegations.
Those allegations refer to "'a clandestine, kickback-based and parasitic relationship' between Cartan and two former CONCACAF executives, president Jeffrey Webb and general secretary Enrique Sanz. Webb and Sanz were not being sued."
The issue is travel costs for signature events such as the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
