FIFA’s Jack Warner accused of stealing from Haiti earthquake relief fund

As investigators work to sort through the alleged wrongdoings of FIFA, one name that has continuously been brought up is Jack Warner. The latest accusation against Warner, the former vice president of FIFA, is one of the most disturbing.

According to a report from the BBC, Warner has been investigated by U.S. prosecutors over the mysterious disappearance of $750,000 that was intended for Haiti earthquake victims. Warner is said to have visited Haiti in 2010 and raised the money from FIFA and the Korean Football Association.

The Guardian adds that Warner, who was one of 14 officials arrested on corruption charges last month, has said in the past that the allegations are bogus.
