football officials indicted on corruption charges the
United States Justice department confirmed on May
27, 2015.
US federal agents investigating alleged corruption in
world football’s governing bodies raided the North and
Central American association CONCACAF’s
headquarters in Miami on Wednesday.
As US officials unveiled an indictment against several
senior FIFA and CONCACAF figures and arrests
were carried out in Switzerland, agents entered the
four-storey South Beach office building with boxes to
gather evidence.
The current and former presidents of CONCACAF,
Jeffrey Webb and Jack Warner, are among 14
defendants accused of masterminding a 24-year-old
multimillion-dollar kickback scheme on football
marketing contracts.
