FIFA summons Caribbean official in Hammam case

Caribbean official Colin Klass has been summoned by FIFA to answer charges on Friday relating to $40,000 bribes allegedly offered by former presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam. FIFA provisionally suspended the Guyana football federation president last month pending a full investigation by FGI Europe, an agency led by former FBI director Louis Freeh. “We can confirm that the ethics committee will hold a meeting on Friday, Sept.23 to look at the case of Colin Klass, who was provisionally suspended on Aug.11,” the governing body of world football said Monday in a statement. Another 15 Caribbean officials under investigation after attending Hammam’s May 10 campaign visit to Trinidad are awaiting hearing dates at FIFA headquarters.
