DIICOT investigates in a case of embezzlement of FIFA funds

 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.
