GENEVA: FIFA’s ethics investigators said Tuesday they were seeking a lifetime ban from football against the body’s former vice president Jeffrey Webb, who has already pleaded guilty to a raft of corruption-related offences in US court.

Investigators at world football’s governing body completed a probe into Webb’s alleged offences last month and have submitted their findings to judges at the ethics committee’s adjudicatory chamber, a FIFA statement said.

The committee recommended Webb be sanctioned with “a lifelong ban from all football-related activities,” the statement added.
