BRASILIA, Brazil -- Marco Polo del Nero, the embattled head of the Brazilian football confederation, told a federal senate panel Wednesday that accusations made against him of racketeering and money laundering were "unfair."
Del Nero was one of 16 football officials indicted earlier this month by the U.S. Department of Justice.
An investigation by American and Swiss officials has snared the last three presidents of the CBF, all of whom have been indicted: Del Nero and his predecessors Jose Maria Marin and Ricardo Teixeira.
