Several persons involved in soccer are subpoenaed this week at the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) to be heard as witnesses by the prosecutors in a case of embezzlement of FIFA funds for the Romanian Football Federation (FRF).
The first to show up on Tuesday morning was Patritiu Abrudan, a former FIFA referee and former vice-president of Romania's Central Committee of Referees (CCA), currently a CCA observer.
According to confidential judicial sources, an organized criminal group was founded in 2010-2012 to appropriate over one million dollars from FIFA financing to the FRF; money was recycled in successive transfers through corporate and personal bank accounts.AGERPRES
