Geneva - Arab Today
Julio Rocha, the former head of the Nicaraguan Football Federation who was one of seven FIFA officials detained in Switzerland in May, has agreed to be extradited to his home country, the Swiss justice ministry said Friday.
"At a hearing today, Julio Rocha, former President of the Nicaraguan Football Federation and former FIFA official, agreed to be extradited to Nicaragua," justice ministry spokesman Folco Galli said in a statement.
The Nicaraguan embassy had submitted the extradition request to Swiss justice officials in August, he added.
