A businessman who was indicted by US authorities in connection to the Fifa corruption case has turned himself in to Italian police.

Bolzano police official Giuseppe Tricarico said that Alejandro Burzaco arrived at the police station yesterday morning with an Italian and Spanish-speaking lawyer.

Police spokesman Francesco Bianco later said Burzaco, who is accused of being involved in a $110m (€97.5m) bribe, was placed under house arrest after a hearing in the northern Italian city.
