NEW YORK/BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - (Reuters’ initial publication of this story on June 4, 2015 included a photograph of a person who was misidentified as Mr. Mariano Jinkis. This correction removes the image of the misidentified individual and replaces it with an image of Mr. Mariano Jinkis.)

U.S. prosecutors may find it difficult to get a number of the people they have charged in the FIFA bribery scandal to face the music. Several cannot be found, and the authorities in some countries may not agree to extradition requests.
