The attorney general of Trinidad and Tobago has said he has received a request from the U.S. for the extradition of former FIFA vice president Jack Warner on corruption charges.
On Wednesday, Garvin Nicholas told reporters his office would evaluate the documents from the U.S. Justice Department to decide whether to take the extradition matter before a magistrate.
Warner is scheduled to appear before a court on Monday. He is resisting extradition on U.S. charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering in the FIFA corruption case, and is out on bail.
Trinidad legal experts believe Warner's extradition could take five years to resolve.
U.S. prosecutors allege that South Africa funnelled $10 million to Warner and two other FIFA executives in 2008 as payment for them supporting its successful bid to host the 2010 World Cup.
