Two top international soccer officials were found guilty on Friday for their roles in a web of corruption that extended across several continents and ensnared dozens of men who control the world’s most popular sport.
A jury in federal court in Brooklyn on Friday convicted the men: Juan Ángel Napout of Paraguay, the former top soccer official of South America, who was accused of accepting $10.5 million in bribes since 2010; José Maria Marin, the former top soccer official of Brazil, who was accused of accepting $6.55 million.
Mr. Marin was found guilty on six counts, of racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy.
