The ban comes into force immediately.
The investigations against Mr Webb were opened on May 27, 2015 and were conducted by Dr Cornel Borbély, chairman of the investigatory chamber of the Ethics Committee, following an indictment by the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York. The final report was transmitted to the adjudicatory chamber on April 26, 2016, which opened formal adjudicatory proceedings on May 4, 2016.
On November 23, 2015, Mr Webb pleaded guilty at the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, to one count of racketeering conspiracy, three counts of wire fraud conspiracy and three counts of money laundering conspiracy.
The adjudicatory chamber of the Ethics Committee found Mr Webb guilty of violations of article 13 (General rules of conduct), 15 (Loyalty), 18 (Duty of disclosure, cooperation and reporting), 19 (Conflicts of interest) and 21 (Bribery and corruption) of the FIFA Code of Ethics (FCE).
In consequence, Mr Webb has been banned for life from all football‑related activities (administrative, sports or any other) on a national and international level and fined CHF 1,000,000.
