NEW YORK: A US jury on Friday convicted two South American ex-soccer bosses of racketeering conspiracy, money laundering and wire fraud charges at the FIFA corruption trial in New York.
The panel returned guilty verdicts against Jose Maria Marin, former head of Brazil's Football Confederation and Juan Angel Napout, former head of Paraguayan football.
But the 12-member jury did not reach consensus on former Peru boss Manuel Burga, who faces one count of racketeering conspiracy, and will return to resume deliberations on Tuesday, after the Christmas holiday.
