The Confederation of North America, Central America and the Caribbean Soccer (Concacaf) awaits “the results” of the investigation that the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) carries out to the Salvadoran Soccer Federation (Fesfut) for money laundering , said a representative of the entity on Monday.
“We await the results of the investigations by the Public Ministry,” said Marco Leal, head of the Department of Concacaf Member Associations. The official’s statement was given this Monday during a press conference in which it was announced that a regularization committee appointed by FIFA had formally assumed the reins of Fesfut.
Last 14 July, the Prosecutor’s Office and the Police raided the Fesfut as part of an investigation for alleged fraudulent administration and money laundering for a complaint filed by a government sports entity.
In addition to the there With the approval of Fesfut by the Public Ministry, the National Institute of Sports of El Salvador (INDES) formed a normalizing commission, which took possession of the Federation last 21 of July. The work of said commission was “interrupted” a day later.
The appointment of said commission was cataloged by FIFA and by different sports sectors and analysts as interference by of the Government through INDES.
The atypical situation in Salvadoran soccer has been marked by the strike of the first, second and third division leagues since there has been no authorization for the referees to whistle the parties.
The Executive Committee of Fesfut, led by Hugo Carrillo and who is also being investigated for alleged money laundering, concluded on 31 of July his four-year term at the head of the entity, so Fesfut was without authorities since last August 1.
The president of the committee appointed by FIFA, Humberto Sáenz, said this Monday that work will be done so that the activities in Salvadoran soccer return to normal “as soon as possible”.
