Jerome Valcke: Suspended Fifa secretary general to learn fate

Suspended Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke will find out on Tuesday if he will receive further punishment for alleged corruption.

The Frenchman, 55, was alleged to be implicated in a scheme to profit from the sale of World Cup tickets.

Fifa's ethics committee suspended Valcke from all football on 8 October for 90 days, which could be extended by another 45 days.

Valcke, who denies wrongdoing, also faces bribery allegations.

He had been accused of being party  to a potential $10m bribe paid to Jack Warner, the former head of the North and Central America football governing body Concacaf, in return for his vote and backing to South Africa's successful bid to host the 2010 World Cup.

Valcke denies the allegations.

When he was Fifa's director of marketing and TV, he was released from the organisation in 2006 over a scandal involving its long-time sponsorship partner Mastercard.

The Frenchman was found to have negotiated with Mastercard's rival Visa in violation of the former company's right of first negotiation, a mistake that cost Fifa $90m in a settlement.

He returned to world football's governing body in 2007 when Fifa president Sepp Blatter appointed him secretary general.

Blatter and vice-president Michel Platini were last month suspended for eight years from all football-related activities following a Fifa ethics investigation.
