There must be greater transparency in FIFA investigations, says the independent Ethics Committee of football's global governing body.
FIFA's independent Ethics Committee believes that football's global governing body needs to allow it to be more transparent with its investigations.
Cornel Borbely, chairman of the FIFA Ethics Committee's investigatory chamber, suggests that the committee should be allowed to make public its investigations and publish the reasons for its findings in line with how criminal proceedings are dealt with.
"As it stands, the FIFA Code of Ethics prevents the names of accused parties within an investigation from being disclosed upon request," he said in a statement on FIFA's official website.
