FIFA bans Valcke for 12 years
Print Edition
Former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke became the latest high-profile soccer official to be sidelined from the sport when he was banned for 12 years yesterday after causing 鈥渃onsiderable financial鈥 damage to soccer鈥檚 governing body.
FIFA鈥檚 ethics committee, in announcing the decision, said the case had centered around misconduct connected to the sale of World Cup tickets, one of a number of scandals rocking soccer鈥檚 crisis-plagued governing body.
It said Valcke, also fined 100,000 Swiss francs, was also involved in 鈥渢he abuse of the FIFA travel expenses policies and regulations, cases involving related-parties issues and the sale of TV and other media rights, and the destruction of evidence.鈥
鈥淢r Valcke acted against FIFA鈥檚 best interests and caused considerable financial damage to FIFA, while his private and personal interests detracted him from his ability to properly perform his duties as the Secretary General of FIFA,鈥 said the statement.
Valcke, who had held the role for nearly eight years, was put on leave by FIFA in September.
