Football's governing body FIFA has banned Bangladesh Football Federation General Secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag for two years on Friday.
The ban has been issued by the adjudicatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee of FIFA for Shohag having used false and/or falsified documents to justify payments made by the BFF with FIFA funds.
Shohag has been banned from participating in all football activities for two years and has been fined 10,000 Swiss Francs.
In their statement, FIFA said Shohag had been found guilty of breaching three articles.
"In addition to the evidence collected during the investigations conducted by the investigatory chamber in the applicable proceedings, the adjudicatory chamber was comfortably satisfied, after having conducted a hearing and upon careful analysis of the evidence presented before it, that Mr Shohag had breached articles 13 (General duties), 15 (Duty of loyalty) and 24 (Forgery and falsification) of the FIFA Code of Ethics, 2020 edition," the statement read.
