Mohamed Bin Hammam refuses to speak to FIFA investigators
FIFA member Mohamed Bin Hammam refused to speak to investigators or provide his bank records during the probe into allegations he paid cash gifts to Caribbean football officials, according to a report to FIFA’s ethics committee.
The report concludes that while there is “no direct evidence” linking Bin Hammam to the offer or payment of cash, there is “compelling circumstantial evidence” that the 62-year-old Qatari was the source of the money.
Bin Hammam, a FIFA executive committee member and president of the Asian Football Confederation, has been suspended since May 29 on charges of bribery. He denies any wrongdoing.
