FORMER FIFA vice president Jack Warner has accused former attorney general Faris Al-Rawi of making “untimely and inappropriate” public statements about his ongoing legal battle, warning that further commentary could lead to legal action.

In a statement on August 7, Warner said he is depending on the Judiciary to handle his case “impartially, following due process and the rule of law.”

He said Al-Rawi’s recent remarks about the matter risk undermining his right to a fair hearing and could sway public opinion with “speculation and legal posturing.”
