Jack Warner is being investigated for missing Haiti relief money, according to the BBC.

Jack Warner Investigated Over Missing Haiti Relief Money

While little is known about the investigation because it is ongoing, this latest corruption allegation tossed at Warner started a few years ago. In 2010, the South Korean FA and FIFA raised about $750,000, which was to be donated as a relief fund to Haiti after the earthquake.

However, it is possible that the fund never made it to Haiti and were placed in a back account designated by former FIFA vice president Jack Warner in 2010. As the controller of his country’s football federation (TTFF), he was the only one who received and controlled the donation. And since then, the cash has gone missing, with little insight into what happened to it since the original 2012 allegations.

“The TTFF acknowledges it is aware of funds made available by both FIFA and the Korean football federation for the football victims of Haiti’s devastating earthquake in 2010,” TTFF stated in 2012. “However, we are unable to confirm the quantum of funds received, as these [donations] did not go into the account used by the TTFF administration for its day-to-day operations, but instead to the TTFF’s LOC (local organizing committee) account as was requested by Mr. Jack Warner… The current executive is unaware of how these funds were disbursed or utilized and is awaiting the promised audited accounts from Mr Warner.”

Now, these charges have resurfaced, as the United States are investigating whether or not Warner used the funds for personal gain. He is already facing extradition to the U.S. for his aforementioned bribery charges, which rocked FIFA just a few short weeks ago.

He has also been recently in the news for defending himself with an Onion article as well as promising to cooperate with the authorities. As for the latter, he plans on releasing an “avalanche” of evidence that could even implicate Sepp Blatter.

Jack Warner, former FIFA vice president, plans on cooperating with authorities and promises to not go down alone.

 Jack Warner Plans To Cooperate With Authorities

If you were to ask any soccer fan, what FIFA executive, old or new, do you think was a part of the 14 that were arrested? He or she would probably mention Jack Warner’s name. The retired FIFA vice president has been embroiled in corruption charges since the early 2000s.

So when 14 people — seven of those were current FIFA executives — were indicted by the U.S. government on a slew of corruption charges, it was not surprising to see his name thrown in the mix. And it has been wonderful watching the old man make a fool out of himself lately – at one point, he proclaimed his innocence by using a satirical Onion article as an example.

But now, he is not playing anymore games, as he promises to release “an avalanche” of evidence against FIFA, including “checks and corroborated statements” that implicate high officials, like Sepp Blatter.

“I will no longer keep secrets for them who actively seek to destroy [Trinidad and Tobago],” Warner stated to his constituents.

“I apologize for not disclosing my knowledge of these events before,” he said. “Not even death will stop the avalanche that is coming. The die is cast. There can be no turning back. Let the chips fall where they fall.”

On top of this, the “checks and corroborated statement” that he is supplying to the proper authorities will detail “the link between FIFA, its funding and [Warner]; the links between FIFA, its funding and the United National Congress.”

This is quite impressive claims from a man who just recently attempted to squash his corruption charges, by holding up an article mocking FIFA’s corruption. Still, this cannot be a good thing for the soccer corporation that has been having a tough two weeks.

First it was the 14 indictments, which somehow led to Blatter’s reelection. As a result, the newly elected president decided to resign, effective a new election that could be held anywhere from December to March. And finally, the FBI has decided to open up their investigation to include the 2018 and 2022 World Cup voting, which was somehow went to Russia and Qatar.

So if Jack Warner truly has evidence that implicates Sepp Blatter and more influential figures, then buckle up FIFA. It is about to be a bumpy summer.
