Togolese Football Association official Kokou Hougnimon Fagla has been banned from all soccer-related activities for life after being found guilty of accepting bribes to manipulate an international friendly, Fifa said on Wednesday.
World soccer’s governing body said Fagla, who is also a referee, had taken bribes in violation of the organisation’s code of ethics.
“The adjudicatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee has found Mr Kokou Hougnimon Fagla . . . guilty of having accepted bribes to manipulate an international friendly match,” Fifa said in a statement.
“The formal ethics proceedings against Mr Fagla . . . stemmed from an extensive investigation into various international matches that Mr Wilson Raj Perumal attempted to manipulate for betting purposes.”
Fagla was also fined 3 000 Swiss francs ($3 000). (SuperSport)
