A new controversy strikes South American football and once again puts the continental leadership under suspicion. Alejandro Domínguez, president of CONMEBOL and vice president of FIFA, has been reported to the ethics committee of the highest international body for allegedly having received millions of dollars from funds recovered after the FIFA Gate scandal.
The information was revealed by the American newspaper The New York Times, which stated that high-ranking FIFA officials have known about the existence of the complaint for over a year, although the case only became public in recent hours.
According to the investigation, the accusation claims that Domínguez and another high executive of the South American entity allegedly received more than 5 million dollars from the money recovered by the South American confederation following the legal cases stemming from the historic corruption scandal that shook world football in 2015.
