In addition, the adjudicatory chamber imposed a fine of CHF 20,000 on Mr. Zhoya.”
“After a careful analysis of the written statements of the victims, as well as the various evidence gathered during the investigations carried out by the investigative chamber, the adjudicatory chamber was comfortably satisfied that Mr. Zhoya had violated Article 23 (protection of physical and mental integrity), Article 25 (abuse of position) and, as a corollary, Article 13 (general obligations) of the Code of Ethics,” said the FIFA in a press release.
