The African football official received a 10-year ban for breaching FIFA’s code of ethics.
Former Liberian FA president Musa Hassan Bility will serve a 10-year FIFA ban after he lost an appeal to overturn the suspension.
Bility had filed the appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) against FIFA after a judgement of the Adjudicatory Chamber of the Ethics Committee on February 12, 2019
FIFA slapped the football administrator with the ban after he was said to have misappropriated FIFA funds and accepted gifts and other benefits amounting to a conflict of interest.
FIFA found Bility "guilty of having misappropriated FIFA funds as well as having received benefits and found himself in situations of conflict of interest, in violation of the FIFA Code of Ethics."
The former Liberia Football Association president is said to have misappropriated funds to entities that he owns or those linked with his family.
After failing to overturn the initial judgement at the CAS, Bility is now expected to serve the long-term ban. CAS delivered its decision on the matter on May 2.
At the time of his ban, Bility was a member of the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and had been critical of the steps taken by FIFA to take a more direct role in the running of African football.
