In a largely symbolic move, FIFA, the international organization overseeing world soccer, announced on Tuesday that it had barred Jack Warner, a former vice president who left the sport’s leadership amid scandal four years earlier.
Mr. Warner, of Trinidad and Tobago, is among 14 men indicted by the United States in May on widespread corruption charges, including bribery and kickback schemes dating to 1991. The allegations against him have mounted this month; Swiss investigators announced last week that they were scrutinizing an element of Mr. Warner’s record for which the United States had not charged him — his purchase of valuable World Cup television rights from Sepp Blatter, FIFA’s president, in 2005 for an amount potentially 33 times lower than market value, igniting suspicions about a quid pro quo agreement.
