The case related to Valdez’s involvement in “various projects and tenders” by the Uruguayan federation. Media reports of audio recordings from 2016 which linked Valdez to potential wrongdoing gave FIFA investigators evidence to open a case. FIFA said “based on the content of the recordings, Mr Valdez had breached his fiduciary duty towards the (Uruguay football federation).” Valdez briefly led CONMEBOL in fallout from a US investigation of corruption linked to FIFA that removed a generation of the continent’s football officials in 2015.
