KINGSTON, Jamaica – Former international soccer official Jack Warner on Wednesday questioned the timing of corruption allegations against him, which he said came up at a time when general elections are approaching in Trinidad and Tobago.

In a video posted to his Facebook page just moments ago, Warner said that whatever is planned for him, it will not succeed.

Warner was one of 14 people indicted on corruption charges stemming from an investigation of CONCACAF. Two of his sons have pleaded guilty to related charges. He said he has not been questioned in the probe.

“I have served this country fearlessly and faithfully over the years. In fact since I left FIFA four years ago, I have done that more than ever and therefore I want to say I shall continue to do so,” Warner said in the video.

He also said however that since he left FIFA four years ago, “there seems to be an unending pattern that seems to be haunting me forever”.

He said this is something he will have to deal with but insisted that while at FIFA he operated within the realms of sports practices and did not step outside of these.

The Trinidadian politician said he single handedly got Trinidad and Tobago into the 2006 World Cup, a record which stands today and will remain for years to come.

He said he will deal with the allegations.

“…Whatever is planned for me negatively, shall not succeed,” said Warner.

He is to be extradited back to the US, to face charges of racketeering, money laundering and corruption.Jack Warner (official page).
