CONCACAF Bans 7 Officials After Latest FIFA Indictments
Seven CONCACAF officials were indicted on charges of wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering by the United States Department of Justice on Thursday, and the regional soccer governing body moved to ban those members Friday.
In a statement, CONCACAF announced it has provisionally banned President Alfredo Hawit (Honduras), Ariel Alvarado (Panama), Brayan Jimenez (Guatemala), Hector Trujillo (Guatemala), Rafael Callejas (Honduras), Rafael Salguero (Guatemala) and Reynaldo Vasquez (El Salvador) "from all football-related activities on a national and international level within the CONCACAF region."
The bans are effective immediately as the DOJ continues its investigation.
