FIFA has provisionally banned 11 people from all soccer activities after they were among those implicated in a corruption scandal.
“The charges are clearly related to football and are of such a serious nature that it was imperative to take swift and immediate action,” said Hans-Joachim Eckert, the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of the FIFA ethics committee. “The proceedings will follow their course in line with the FIFA code of ethics.”
The banned individuals are: Jeffrey Webb, Eduardo Li, Julio Rocha, Costas Takkas, Jack Warner, Eugenio Figueredo, Rafael Esquivel, José Maria Marin, Nicolás Leoz, Chuck Blazer and Daryll Warner.
