FIFA's chief ethics investigator Dr. Cornel Borbely has recommended that the former president of Honduras Rafael Callejas be banned from football for life for his part in the governing body's corruption scandals.
After leading the Central American republic between 1990 and 1994, Callejas became president of the Honduran Football Association in 2002, also serving on FIFA's marketing and television committee.
But Callejas' reign at the Honduran FA came to an end in 2015 when he was indicted by the United States Department of Justice on fraud and racketeering charges related to the sale of broadcasting rights for the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The 72-year-old pleaded guilty to those charges in New York in March and is now awaiting sentencing with several other former football bosses.
Borbely, the chairman of the investigatory chamber of FIFA's ethics committee, has now concluded the governing body's investigation of Callejas' conduct and has found five possible breaches of FIFA's code of ethics that include bribery and failure to disclose conflicts of interest.
A statement from FIFA added that "until a formal decision is taken by the adjudicatory chamber of the ethics committee, Mr Callejas is presumed innocent."
