Ex-FIFA official Warner faces December extradition case

Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago (AFP) — Former FIFA official Jack Warner will face an extradition hearing in December after authorities in Trinidad and Tobago quashed attempts to have the case against him tossed out, officials said Friday.

“I do not think I can accede to the request,” Deputy Chief Magistrate Mark Wellington told a hearing, ruling against a bid by Warner’s legal team to dismiss the case.

Wellington set a December 2nd date for Warner’s extradition hearing.
