Warner's legal woes deepen

Jack Warner's woes continue to deepen with CONCACAF scoring a first-round victory in the legal battle against its former president over the ownership of the Dr Joao Havelange Centre of Excellence in Macoya, Trinidad.

Delivering a decision on Monday, High Court judge Robin Mohammed dismissed an application from two companies owned by Warner's family and his wife Maureen to remove them from the US$37.8 million lawsuit which was brought against them, Warner, Warner's accountant Kenny Rampersad and Rampersad's accounting firm.

In the application, Warner's wife and the companies, Renraw Investments Limited and CCAM and Company Limited were claiming that the case, filed in 2016, was statute-barred as it concerned conduct which took place between 1995 and 2011.

Warner is still currently fighting his proposed extradition to the United States to face the charges with the Privy Council dismissing a preliminary challenge earlier this year.
