NEW YORK, Jan 18 — A criminal case against two former 21st Century Fox executives and a sports marketing company accused of bribing South American football officials to obtain lucrative broadcasting rights will reveal “a culture of corruption,” a prosecutor told a jury in a Brooklyn federal court yesterday.
The charges are part of a long-running corruption probe surrounding Fifa, the world governing body for football. Zapana said the next several weeks of trial would show how the defendants joined a “culture of corruption” and aimed to cover their tracks using secret ledgers and coded messages. An attorney for Lopez told jurors his client was not aware of the bribes and immediately reported them to Fox upon learning of them.Martinez’s lawyer told jurors that the government’s case rests largely on testimony from cooperating witnesses who lack credibility.Argentine businessman Alejandro Burzaco is set to testify as the government’s star witness, reprising a role he played in 2017, when he took the stand against three former football officials in a related case.
