On August 15, 2019, Fifa's independent ethics committee issued a life ban to Romer Osuna, the former treasurer of South America's football federation, after finding him guilty of bribery.
Osuna, who also headed Bolivia's football federation, was among a group of South American football officials charged with corruption in 2015 amid the unprecedented scandal that triggered sweeping reform within Fifa.
According to Fifa, Osuna was accused of awarding contracts to companies for the media and marketing rights to CONMEBOL competitions between 2012 and 2015.
"The adjudicatory chamber found that Mr Osuna had breached art. 27 (Bribery) of the 2018 edition of the Fifa Code of Ethics and, as a result, sanctioned him with a ban for life," Fifa stated.
Osuna was also fined Sh103 million ($1 million) by Fifa.
