A Peruvian court on Thursday ruled the former head of the country's soccer federation could be extradited to the United States as part of a far-reaching investigation into corruption at the heart of the sport's governing body FIFA. The court ruling must be approved by the justice ministry before Manuel Burga, who led the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) until 2014, can be extradited. The charge of criminal conspiracy substantiated the extradition request, but the court presided over by Judge Javier Villa Stein decided that four other charges including money laundering and electronic fraud brought by U.S. prosecutors were not grounds for extradition.
