FIFA bans former Guyana Football Federation (GFF) General Secretary Ian Alves for five years after its Independent Ethics Committee finds he sexually harassed female staff members. Multiple outlets report that the Ethics Committee concludes Alves abused his position to sexually harass the women working for the GFF. FIFA’s decision is based on the Committee’s analysis of written statements from the victims and documentation provided by the GFF. In addition to the ban from all football-related activities, FIFA imposes a fine of 20,000 Swiss francs (reported as about $22,000). The ban takes effect following FIFA’s disciplinary process under its Ethics framework, which includes rules related to protection from sexual harassment. Outlets also describe the case as a breach of provisions of the FIFA Code of Ethics. The reports consistently state that Alves is the former GFF General Secretary and that the punishment covers all football-related activities for the five-year period.
