NEW YORK, (Reuters) – Jeffrey Webb, one of seven current and former officials of soccer’s world governing body FIFA detained in Switzerland in a corruption probe, has agreed to be extradited to the United States, Bloomberg News reported today.
The Swiss Federal Office of Justice had said earlier today that one of the seven had agreed not to fight extradition but did not identify the official.
After Webb’s May 27 arrest, FIFA and the regional soccer federation CONCACAF provisionally banned Webb from his posts.
