Former FIFA Vice-President Jeffrey Webb has been extradited to the United States following his arrest in Switzerland on racketeering and bribery charges filed by American prosecutors.
The Swiss Federal Office of Justice said Thursday the man was extradited a day earlier after 50 days of detention.
"He was handed over to a three-man U.S. police escort in Zurich who accompanied him on the flight to New York," the ministry said in a statement.
