BOGOTA (Reuters) - The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) and some of its senior members have been fined $4.6 million (3.6 million pounds) for planning and executing a scheme to resell World Cup tickets at inflated prices, the country’s commerce regulator said on Monday.
The decision came after two years of investigation and also included fines for officials with TICKET YA, the FCF's partner company set up to sell home tickets for Colombia’s games in the qualifiers for the tournament held in Russia in 2018.
