Two Fifa executive committee members were banned and fined on Thursday, one for bribery, over allegations they had offered to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Nigerian Amos Adamu was banned from all-soccer related activities for three years and fined 10 000 Swiss francs ($10 130) for breaches of five articles of Fifa’s ethics code including one on bribery.
Reynald Temarii of Tahiti, president of the Oceania Football Confederation, was banned for one year and fined 5 000 Swiss francs for breaching articles on general conduct and loyalty.
Four other Fifa officials were banned and fined, including Slim Aloulou, chairman of the committee that settles disputes between clubs, players and coaches, and the previously disgraced Ismael Bhamjee.
In 2006, Botswana’s Bhamjee was sent home from the World Cup in Germany and subsequently quit the executive committee for selling match tickets at three times their face value.
