“This sanction has been imposed in connection with ongoing investigations concerning Mr Jean-Bart,” soccer’s world body said in a statement late Monday.

Allegations against Jean-Bart were published last month by British daily The Guardian.

Jean-Bart, who has led the federation for 20 years, has denied the allegations.
