FIFA ethics prosecutors want a lifetime ban imposed on former FIFA vice president Jeffrey Webb, who has pleaded guilty to racketeering charges in the United States.
The former CONCACAF president pleaded guilty last year in New York federal court to racketeering, wire-fraud and money-laundering charges. The 50-year-old Cayman Islands native agreed to forfeit more than $6.7 million as part of his plea deal.
The ethics committee says it received a final investigation report last week from FIFA prosecutors.
"The final report was transmitted to the adjudicatory chamber on 26 April 2016, with a recommended sanction of a lifelong ban from all football-related activities," the FIFA statement said.
The FIFA committee said they have opened formal adjudicatory proceedings against Webb. He is expected to be sentenced in federal court in Brooklyn next month. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
"Webb will be invited to submit his position with regard to the final report of the investigatory chamber, including any evidence (art. 70 par. 2 of the FIFA Code of Ethics), and may request a hearing (art. 74 par. 2 of the FIFA Code of Ethics)," the statement said.
Webb was arrested in Switzerland last May and extradited to the United States. He was part of an indictment of nine football officials and five marketing executives alleging a $150 million bribery and kickback scheme. He was accused of soliciting and accepting millions of dollars in bribes from marketing firms and executives in exchange for sponsorship and media rights for regional tournaments.
FIFA said it would not release the details of the report.
