By Nate Raymond NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former president of Guatemala's soccer federation pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to charges that he participated in bribery schemes at the heart of a corruption investigation into world soccer's governing body, FIFA. Brayan Jimenez, the former president, entered his plea through his lawyer in federal court in Brooklyn to racketeering conspiracy and wire fraud charges, a day after being extradited from Guatemala. U.S. Magistrate Judge Ramon Reyes set bond at $1.5 million, and directed that Jimenez be confined at a friend's home in New Jersey.
