An investigation conducted by FIFA's executive committee found that Jack Warner was not guilty of illegally reselling tickets for the World Cup finals last summer. One way to say it is that there was "no concrete evidence", which is in fact what they did say. He did receive a reprimand for not being prudent in ticketing matters, which in the end is not exactly a devastating punishment. Warner will remain in charge of CONCACAF for as long as the Caribbean nations continue to support him, which they did throughout this scandal.
This article in the Trinidad Express has more information. And if you read this report from SportsTicker, it includes quite a synopsis of Warner's implication in some really shady deals going back to the mid 1980s.
