Disgraced former Concacaf president and FIFA vice-president Jeffrey Webb has had his sentencing delayed for a ninth time.

His sentencing has now been moved back to September 10.

In 2015 Webb pleaded guilty to racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies after his arrest in Zurich in May 2015 as one of the original seven indictments issued by the U.S. department of justice in the fifagate scandal.

Webb who was due to be sentenced this month has been under house arrest in the US and in the past already agreed to forfeit more than $6.7 million.

Webb is also wanted by Cayman Islands authorities in connection with his role in the carepay swipe card scandal at health services authority.
