PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) -- Trinidad Attorney General Garvin Nicholas said Wednesday that officials feared former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner would flee the island after facing U.S. federal corruption charges, but they're now confident he'll stay in the country.
Warner is scheduled to appear in court July 9 for an extradition hearing on U.S. charges including racketeering, wire fraud and money-laundering.
''Any person with the level of resources that Mr. Warner has would be considered a flight risk,'' Nicholas told The Associated Press. ''We certainly made it a lot more difficult for him to escape or leave the country.
