Former Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) president Jose Maria Marin has agreed to be extradited to the United States as part of the investigation into corruption in world football.
Marin was one of seven FIFA officials arrested during dawn raids on a Zurich hotel in May and is accused of taking bribes in connection to the sale of sports marketing rights.
The accusations relate to the 83-year-old allegedly "having taken bribes worth millions of dollars from sports marketing companies in connection with the sale of marketing rights" for the Copa America and Copa do Brasil tournaments.
