Court documents showed that the heads of the CONMEBOL and Concacaf associations that run football in the Western Hemisphere and others with top jobs in the world governing body Fifa were charged along with current and former chiefs of the Brazil Football Confederation (CBF), which hosted the 2014 World Cup finals.
A former president of Honduras, Rafael Callejas, and a judge on Guatemala’s constitutional court, Héctor Trujillo, were named in the indictment. A source in the court said Trujillo was on vacation in the United States. Callejas, also a former Honduran football federation chief, said he was ready to defend himself in court.
