Former South American football officials were charged in the FIFA corruption prosecution, while offshore records exposed questions around broadcast deals.

U.S. prosecutors named individuals including Nicolás Leoz and Eduardo Deluca. Separately, ICIJ reported on Mossack Fonseca records tied to football broadcast contracts. The charges and offshore trail need person-specific outcomes; neither makes CONMEBOL as an institution guilty by association.
