Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner cited a satirical news article Sunday in an attempt to clear his name of corruption charges leveled against him, apparently without realizing the piece of writing was only a mock account.
Warner, 72, was arrested in Trinidad and Tobago last Wednesday on bribery charges as part of a massive bust of top soccer officials. He was pushed out of FIFA four years earlier amid another bribery scandal, which he blamed at the time on “Zionists.”
