The Telegraph's reporters and a former FIFA investigator, posing as an investment company looking to "sponsor" games, met registered FIFA agent Christopher Forsythe and senior official in the Ghanaian FA Obed Nketiah.

The company board said that the decision had grown out of an ongoing investigation into Charney's alleged misconduct. The statement did not provide any details about the type of conduct Charney allegedly had committed.

The company, which was recently acquired by Apple Inc last month, has managed to eclipse World Cup sponsor Sony, who had been distributing headphones to every athlete free of charge, The Verge said.
