Guatemala's Hector Trujillo to wear electronic monitor as part of bail

NEW YORK -- A Guatemalan judge indicted in a probe of global football corruption must wear an electronic monitor and can't be more than 50 miles from the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, as part of a bail agreement set Thursday by a U.S. magistrate.

The bail agreement for Hector Trujillo also set his bond at $4 million (€3.66 million). Trujillo's attorney said friends and relatives would be putting up cash and real estate properties as security for the bond.
