FIFA shadows

August 29 – The investigatory chamber of the FIFA Ethics committee has completed an investigation into Saoud Al-Mohannadi, Vice-President of the Qatar Football Association (QFA) and former general secretary of the QFA, and referred it to its adjudicatory body recommending a minimum two-year ban and a CHF20,000 fine.

The investigation is not related to the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.

The investigation was headed by the deputy chairman of the investigatory chamber of the Ethics Committee, Djimbaraye Bourngar, and looked into allegations that Al-Mohannadi had failed “to properly cooperate and provide truthful information to the investigatory chamber in the framework of another investigation not related to the awarding of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.”

Al-Mohannadi is charged with an alleged violation of art. 13 (General rules of conduct), art. 18 (Duty of disclosure, cooperation and reporting) and art. 42 (General obligation to collaborate) of the FIFA Code of Ethics.

Until FIFA’s Adjudicatory Chamber makes its decision Al-Mohannadi is presumed innocent.
