Former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke may face a nine-year ban as the world soccer governing body's ethics committee's lead investigator, Cornel Borbely, recommended on Tuesday.

Borbely recommended the ban after concluding his inquiry. He also asked Valcke be fined 100,000 Swiss francs (about US$100,000) and that his 90-day suspension be extended for another 45 days.

Valcke was accused of violating six articles of the FIFA code of ethics, including confidentiality and conflict of interest.

The Frenchman was originally banned for 90 days in October, a month after being put on leave by FIFA. The ban will expire at the end of day on Tuesday.

A final decision on banning Valcke will come from ethics committee judge Hans-Joachim Eckert, the man who last month banned both Blatter and Michel Platini for eight years each.
