CONCACAF

He was an interim president of CONCACAF.[5]
After the arrest of Jeffrey Webb on 27 May 2015, Hawit was made president of the CONCACAF. Hawit himself was then arrested on corruption charges on 3 Dec 2015 in the Baur au Lac hotel in Zürich.[6] On 4 December 2015 he was banned for 90 days by the FIFA Ethics Committee.[7] In December 2016, the FIFA Ethics Committee banned Hawit for life from all football-related activities.[8]
