PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Austin “Jack” Warner, the former president of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) says he is taking legal action against prominent Barbadian jurist, Sir David Simmons over the contents of a report that had been damning of him. Sir David had chaired the CONCACAF Ethics Committee that reported Warner as being fraudulent in his management of the football grouping as well as the ownership of the Centre of Excellence here. Warner, a former national security minister in the Kamla Persad Bissessar administration, had criticised the report released in Panama in April and also questioned the procedure used to gather the information, describing it as flawed.
