ZURICH, Switzerland — Despite a report Wednesday saying there was “comprehensive, convincing and overwhelming” evidence of bribery, Qatari FIFA official Mohamed Bin Hammam will not resign and will continue to fight to clear his name.

The damning report by the FIFA ethics committee also states that Jack Warner, the Trinidadian who resigned from FIFA — soccer’s international governing body — earlier this week, was an “accessory to corruption.”

By distancing himself from his murky FIFA past, Warner has had all charges against him dropped and can pursue his career in the Trinidadian Government.

While this would also seem an easy get-out option for Bin Hammam, The (London) Times understands that the Qatari, who is suspended from his position as FIFA vice-president, will pursue his attempts to clear his name so far that even if the FIFA in-house justice system finds him guilty, he will take his case to the international law courts.

However, the 17-page report delivers a strong verdict against him. The report concludes that there was “compelling” evidence that Bin Hammam, who was running a campaign for the FIFA presidency, and Warner arranged a special meeting for the 25 members of the Caribbean Football Union on May 10 and 11 in Trinidad and that cash gifts were handed over.

The reports states, “It seems Mr. Bin Hammam offered, at least indirectly and under the pledge of secrecy, to each of the member associations an envelope containing $40,000 [£24,900].

“Therefore it appears rather compelling to consider the actions of Mr. Bin Hammam constitute prima facie an act of bribery or at least an attempt to commit bribery.”

The report also delivers a withering verdict on Warner, who was sent the report last week and resigned three days later.

Bin Hammam has continued to proclaim his innocence.

“There is nothing I can say more than I deny the allegations and insist that I have not done anything wrong during the special congress at Trinidad,” he said.
