Famous Arab referee has put his job in jeopardy

This news happened so fast which does not took even 72 hours. It all started last Saturday (three days ago) when Fahad al-Mirdasi had to officiate the King Cup final between Al-Ittihad and Al-Faisaly. Many were in surprise when it was learned that he was being pulled out from the duel. Yesterday, its (mysterious) federation did not reveal any details of why or how, however instead have announced that the Olympic committee from this Arab country approved this investigation. Finally, after all those questions and answers today it was said that the 32-year-old official admitted to rig the King Cup final.
This story from Saudi Arabia would not have been that important if we know that the above mentioned name is selected to be on the World Cup referee list who supposed to officiate in Russia. And when something goes wrong it had to go until the end: also today the Saudi Arabian (its own) federation has asked FIFA to punish him on global level. Thus this young and experienced 'man in blue' has put his job in danger of missing the world football event which is beginning exactly one month from now.
