Years ago, the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation claimed that former FIFA executive Jack Warner pocketed over $700,000 that was meant to be donated to a relief fund following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Now, the seemingly incorrigible Warner is at the center of the FIFA corruption scandal, and that missing money is part of the investigation.
Jack Warner investigated for pocketing $750,000 in Haiti earthquake relief money
BBC reports that United States prosecutors are investigating claims that money -- $750,000 in total -- donated by the Korean football association and FIFA for Haiti earthquake relief instead went into Warner’s own accounts for “personal use.”
As things stand, Warner is wanted in Trinidad and faces extradition to the United States. This is the same man who reportedly took cash-briefcase bribes for all kinds of things, including competing bids to put the 2010 World Cup in Morocco or South Africa. Stealing disaster relief money would be a whole other layer of evil for a man who’s already got a remarkable list of allegations on record.
