BERN, Switzerland -- Former FIFA vice president Alfredo Hawit has agreed to be extradited to the United States to face bribery charges, Switzerland's justice ministry said Wednesday.
The Swiss ministry said Hawit ended his opposition to an American extradition request and must be collected by a police escort within 10 days.
Hawit, from Honduras, was interim president of the CONCACAF regional governing body when he was arrested at the Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich on Dec. 3.
U.S. prosecutors accuse him of "accepting bribes totaling millions of dollars in connection with the sale to various sports marketing firms of marketing rights to football tournaments in Latin America," the Swiss justice statement said.
