Jack Warner, the embattled former Fifa vice-president at the centre of corruption charges, faces a new slew of allegations as more details emerge of payments that were reportedly diverted to bank accounts he controlled.

In papers drawn up by US investigators and seen by the BBC, Warner is accused of diverting US$750,000 in emergency funds donated by Fifa and the Korean Football Association intended for victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

The BBC reports US investigators alleging the money went to accounts controlled by Warner, at “Warner’s direction” for his “personal use”.

Warner was arrested last month in Trinidad at the request of US authorities, and faces extradition on charges of corruption and money laundering.

1. LOL. Still waiting for the banksters to be investigated. nt

2. We all know that banksters have friends in high places that

have insulated them but the lack of investigations of banksters shouldn't be be a reason not to rejoice that FIFA corruption has been investigated and charges brought.

Millions and millions of people who will never be wealthy respect wealth. Stuff like this really shows how many who have got fabulously rich are loathsome, that they stop at nothing.
This will also stop that piece of filth from playing the race card and make it easier for Trinidad to extradite him
