NEW YORK — U.S. authorities have charged another individual in their sweeping investigation of corruption in soccer and its world governing body FIFA, court papers said, bringing to 42 the number of known people and entities charged in the case.
A federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, on Monday unsealed papers saying that a defendant named Miguel Trujillo was charged with a felony on March 4. Trujillo's case is related to publicly known soccer-corruption cases, according to the papers.
However, the papers did not disclose who Trujillo is or what the exact charges are that he faces.
