ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss prosecutors are preparing to return money to the South American soccer association that was seized from Swiss bank accounts during a sweeping global probe of corruption involving world soccer officials.
One of the bank accounts, at Credit Suisse, contains nearly $500,000 and was owned by Eduardo Carlos Deluca, the former head of the South American Football Confederation, and Andres Castelli, a former Latin America regional director at world soccer association FIFA, prosecutors said.
The OAG did not immediately reply to a message on Monday from Reuters seeking to find out the amount in the Julius Baer account. "The OAG considers the criminal investigation... complete and intends to close it shortly," it added. The United States tried in 2016 to extradite Deluca from Argentina, but a judge there blocked the request. [https://reut.rs/2RzyhJ2]
