ZURICH (Reuters) – A Swiss appeals court found former FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke guilty of forging documents and accepting bribes in a case involving World Cup media rights, it said on Friday.
The appellate division of the Federal Criminal Court acquitted Qatari sports and broadcasting executive Nasser Al-Khelaifi of inciting Valcke to commit criminal mismanagement, upholding the verdict of a lower court.
Valcke and Al-Khelaifi had denied bribery charges in their appeals trial, which was held in March.
