Former FIFA VP Jack Warner at police station

(15 Jun 2015) Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner went to a police station in Port of Spain on Monday, complying with bail orders that he must present himself to authorities twice a week to prove he is still in Trinidad and Tobago.
Warner was driven to the Arouca station in the north of the capital, but went in alone to sign documents proving he hadn't left the country while awaiting a hearing to decide whether he should be extradited to the US to face charges in the FIFA corruption scandal.
Warner, who is a Member of Parliament in his homeland, has said that he intends to resist extradition at a hearing scheduled for July 9.
He faces charges that include racketeering and money-laundering.
Authorities earlier confiscated his passport, fearing he might flee.
Warner is linked to 10 million US dollars in payments channelled through FIFA as apparent bribes to vote for South Africa as the 2010 World Cup host.
