Port-of-Spain: The latest wave of FIFA election bribery cases has started, as 15 Caribbean soccer officials started explaining their part in an alleged plot involving former presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam that involved allegations that were said to have taken place in Port-of-Spain.
FIFA says its Ethics Committee would hear the defendants over three days and is expected to deliver verdicts on Friday.
The 15 officials from 11 Caribbean countries are accused of accepting US$40,000 cash payments in Trinidad during Bin Hammam's challenge to FIFA President Sepp Blatter.
Bin Hammam, who denies bribery, is appealing his lifetime ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and FIFA dropped charges against this country's Works and Infrastructure Minister Jack Warner after he resigned as FIFA vice-president and Concacaf president in June.
