FIFA Appeal Committee passes decision on Saoud Al-Mohannadi
Following a hearing which took place in Zurich on Mar 28, 2017, the Appeal Committee has set aside the decision taken by the adjudicatory chamber of the Ethics Committee on Nov 15, 2016, which had found Al-Mohannadi guilty of infringing articles 18 (Duty of disclosure, cooperation and reporting) and 42 (General obligation to collaborate) of the FIFA Code of Ethics (FCE).
The Appeal Committee considered that the evidence available was not sufficient to establish to the appropriate standard, i.e. to the comfortable satisfaction of the members of the Appeal Committee, that Al-Mohannadi had acted in violation of the FCE.
Therefore, the one-year ban imposed by the adjudicatory chamber on Al-Mohannadi, which entered into force on Nov 16, 2016, and the fine of CHF 20,000 have been lifted.
