PORT OF SPAIN – The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) has hinted that an investigation could be launched into unaccounted revenues generated by the federation from World Cup 2006.
TTFF president Raymond Tim Kee announced that a probe was being considered during a press conference at the Hasely Crawford Stadium’s VIP Lounge on Monday.
“From our understanding, TTFF is very much a part of CONCACAF, and in pursuit of (CONCACAF’s) uncovering and investigating all the goings-on in the past, Trinidad and Tobago has not been exempted from that,” said Tim Kee.
“I believe that that arm will be extended to the TTFF, where the forensics and all the investigations will be done”.
Earlier this year TTFF announced that it was suing former Minister of National Security, Jack Warner, who was also the TTFF’s special advisor, in a bid to recover millions in unaccounted funds, including those earmarked as aid for Haiti.
Warner has been accused in a CONCACAF report of financial fraud.
Warner, a former Caribbean Football Union and CONCACAF president, has vehemently denied all charges.
“That is a big one that my mouth is not quite capable of biting and chewing. That’s bigger than me,” said Tim Kee. “The investigations will reveal something, and based on that, we’ll have to take appropriate actions.”
Last month, Warner resigned from his posts as minister, chairman of the United National Congress and MP for Chaguanas West. (CMC)
