Fifa panel bans 3 former football officials for life
Fifa’s ethics watchdogs have banned three former football officials from Guam,
Nicaragua and Venezuela for life as part of efforts to address
widespread corruption in the sport, the world football governing body said
on Tuesday.
The latest officials to be hit by Fifa bans are Richard Lai, the former Guam
Football Association president and a former member of the Fifa audit and
compliance committee; Julio Rocha, the former Nicaraguan Football Association
president and a former Fifa development officer; and Rafael Esquivel, former
Venezuelan Football Association president.
All three men had pleaded guilty in the United States to separate federal
charges ranging from wire fraud to racketeering and money laundering.
