Trinidad's Warner characteristically defiant amid FIFA raids

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) -- Former international soccer official Jack Warner on Wednesday denied the latest corruptions allegations against him.

Warner, who represented his native Trinidad & Tobago for FIFA and is now a member of Parliament in the twin island nation, denied any wrongdoing, reaffirming previous denials when confronted with allegations of corruption during his tenure as a vice president of FIFA and president of CONCACAF, the North American regional body of the federation.

Warner was one of 14 people indicted in the U.S. on corruption charges stemming from an investigation of CONCACAF. Two of his sons have pleaded guilty to related charges.
