PORT OF SPAIN: The Trinidad & Tobago public prosecutor’s office studying a police report about a bribery investigation involving  Jack Warner, the ex-FIFA vice-president.

Warner, former president of both CONCACAF and the Caribbean Football Union, resigned earlier this as National Security Minister under the pressure of controversy.

The latest investigation centres on allegations that in May 2011, undeclared sums of US currency were brought into the country and used to bribe officials during a CFU meeting, chaired by Warner, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Port-of-Spain.

Police Commissioner Stephen Williams told a press conference: “Until such time that we get a position in that matter, it is at the office of the DPP.”

The investigation was already under way when Williams was appointed but there had been a delay brought about by the need to study further allegations from Opposition parties.

These are thought to have concerned claims that senior government officials had tried to put pressure on legal officials and the media.
