Ex-Fifa official pleads not guilty

Jeffrey Webb, one of seven high-ranking officials of soccer's world governing body Fifa who were arrested in Switzerland on corruption charges, pleaded not guilty in US federal court on Saturday. Extradited to the United States, the former Fifa vice-president and president of the CONCACAF regional soccer federation appeared at a hearing in Brooklyn, New York. A US lawyer for him declined to comment. Webb faces US charges of racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering. He was released on a $10 million bond co-signed by family members.
