It may take years to corner Jack Warner

Jack Warner’s legal battle against extradition to the United States on corruption charges could ’possibly last years’ and even end up being heard by the Privy Council, the Attorney General of Trinidad has said.

The former FIFA vice-president is currently on bail in Trinidad after being one of the people indicted by US authorities over allegations of racketeering, wire fraud and money-laundering conspiracies spanning 24 years.

American whistleblower Chuck Blazer has said he and others took bribes totalling 10million US dollars for South Africa to host the 2010 World Cup and an undisclosed sum for Morocco’s unsuccessful bid to host the 1998 tournament, sworn testimony which is contained in a plea bargain published by the US Department of Justice.
