MONTEVIDEO (Reuters) - A Uruguayan judge has seized nine properties belonging to Eugenio Figueredo, a FIFA vice president who faces possible extradition to the United States on corruption charges, two sources inside Uruguay's judiciary said.
Figueredo is one of 14 current and former FIFA officials and corporate executives indicted by U.S. justice officials on allegations of running a criminal enterprise involving more than $150 million in bribes. He was arrested in Switzerland on May 27.
One source said the asset grab included five properties in Uruguay's capital, Montevideo, and four in the chic coastal resort of Punta del Este.
