Jeffrey Webb’s sentencing in the FIFA corruption scandal has been put off again

by January 10th, 2018

Disgraced former Concacaf president Jeffrey Webb’s sentencing in the FIFA corruption scandal has been put off again by a U.S. Federal Court.

According to records released Webb’s January 24 sentencing date was delayed “due to a change in the court’s calendar” to march 7.

This is the sixth time the sentencing has been reset and comes nearly three years after his May 2015 arrest

Previous sentencing delays have been attributed to requests from Webb’s attorneys to push back the date.

Webb, a former FIFA Vice president, has pleaded guilty to seven counts in a federal court indictment alleging he and dozens of other defendants conspired to rig sports marketing contracts for various world football events in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.
