President of Chile's soccer association reportedly turns FBI informant

Chile's soccer federation confirmed that Sergio Jadue, 36, traveled to the U.S., and "it's not a vacation," one media outlet reported.

The president of Chile's national soccer association, Sergio Jadue, will be in the United States until May 2016 to serve as an FBI informant in the U.S. Justice Department's investigation into corruption at FIFA, according to multiple media reports.

Local police last week served Sergio Jadue, 36, a subpoena as part of what national soccer association ANFP said was an investigation into how it allocates salaries, only hours after Jadue announced that he was taking a 30-day leave for medical reasons.
