Makudi, the former president of the Thailand Football Association, should also pay a fine of at least 25,000 Swiss francs (£19,123) for alleged violation of the general rules of conduct, the chamber said in a statement on Friday.

The executive is accused of violating general rules of conduct relating to loyalty, forgery and falsification and the obligation of the parties to collaborate.

The investigation has been completed by the chairman of the investigatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee, Cornel Borbely, and handed over to the adjudicatory chamber of the Ethics Committee, which will decide what action to take, the investigatory chamber of the ethics committee said.
