The Polish football federation has fired its secretary general following allegations of possible corruption.
Federation official Jacek Masiota said Wednesday that the 17-member board voted to oust Zdzislaw Krecina after a secretly filmed video captured him talking about money with association president Grzegorz Lato in 2010.
The members believe the recordings indicate a criminal offense may have taken place. There was no vote on Lato on Wednesday.
Krecina and Lato deny any wrongdoing.
