LIMA (Reuters) - An informant in a probe of Peru's judiciary has testified that FIFA's top representative in the South American nation paid a judge in exchange for his help winning exclusion from a murder investigation, according to a statement to prosecutors seen by Reuters.
The allegations against Edwin Oviedo could renew calls for him to resign as president of the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) or be suspended by soccer's governing body, FIFA. The FPF represents and is funded by FIFA, which has spent years trying to remake its image after a slew of graft scandals.
