By Mica Rosenberg and Nate Raymond NEW YORK (Reuters) - An Argentine sports media company has agreed to pay about $112.8 million (89 million pounds) as part of a deal resolving U.S. charges stemming a wide-ranging bribery probe involving FIFA, football's world governing body, according to court documents filed on Tuesday. The deferred prosecution agreement with Torneos y Competencias SA, whose former chief executive pleaded guilty last year to engaging in schemes to bribe football officials, was disclosed in court papers filed in federal court in Brooklyn. Prosecutors charged it with one count of wire fraud conspiracy, which will be dropped if it abides by the deferred prosecution agreement's terms for four years.
