A former Fifa vice-president who was arrested on bribery charges as part of a raid on officials of football's governing body blamed “Zionism” after being implicated in a previous bribery scandal.
Jack Warner was held in Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday on suspicion of bribery.
He handed himself in after his name appeared on a list of nine current or former Fifa officials and five business executives who, according to US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, “abused their positions of trust to acquire millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks”.
In 2011, Mr Warner resigned from Fifa after it opened an investigation into allegations that he received cash “gifts” from former Asian Football Confederation chief Mohammed Bin Hammam.
