Former CONCACAF boss Jack Warner will know his fate on July 31 when a judge is expected to rule on the legality of an extradition request by the United States.
Warner is wanted in the United States to face charges of racketeering and bribery relating to his tenure as a high-ranking official of world governing body FIFA.
In the claim submitted to the court by his attorneys, Warner questions the procedure adopted by the Office of the Attorney General in signing off on the US’s request for his extradition in May 2015. The former FIFA vice president was one of 14 people indicted by a United States court for racketeering and bribery. The list also included another former CONCACAF president,Jeffrey Webb who is currently under house arrest in the US. Webb pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, three counts of wire fraud conspiracy and three counts of money laundering conspiracy.
High Court Judge,James Aboud set the date after listening to submissions from Warner’s attorneys and those of the Office of the Attorney General at the Port-of-Spain High Court on Friday. (Sportsmax)
