FIFA decided this Monday to form a regularization committee that will take the reins of the Salvadoran Football Federation (Fesfut) to find solutions to the situation that national football is experiencing as a result of an investigation against the entity’s Executive Committee of course money laundering and fraudulent administration.
The Executive Committee of Fesfut, led by Hugo Carrillo and who is also being investigated for alleged money laundering, concluded his four-year term on Sunday of the entity, so Fesfut woke up this Monday without authorities.
In a letter sent by FIFA to Fesfut, it is stated that the 23 in July, the case of the Salvadoran federation was sent to the FIFA Council Bureau, which made the decision to create said committee.
The main task of the regularization committee will be to review the Fesfut statutes and hold a congress for the tion of the new authorities.
In addition, it will fully collaborate with the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) of El Salvador and will carry out an “exhaustive audit of Fesfut’s finances”, according to the letter.
The members of the committee will be appointed by FIFA, after carrying out an suitability test, in consultation with the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Soccer (Concacaf), adds.
The atypical situation in Salvadoran soccer has been marked by the stoppage of the first, second and third division leagues given that there has been no authorization for the referees to whistle the matches.
In addition to the raid to Fesfut by the Prosecutor’s Office, the governmental National Sports Institute of El Salvador (INDES) formed a normalizing commission, which took possession of the Federation last of July. The work of said commission was “interrupted” on July 23.
The appointment of said commission was cataloged by FIFA and by different sectors and sports analysts as interference by the Government through INDES.
