Jack Warner ordered to pay TT $474 million by US court
NEW YORK (AP) A former Caribbean soccer official fighting extradition in the FIFA bribery scandal has been ordered to pay $79 million in damages from a related U.S. lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge William Kuntz ordered the default judgment against Jack Warner in the 2017 civil action accusing him of embezzling tens of millions of dollars from the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football. The written ruling was issued in federal court in Brooklyn on Tuesday after Warner failed to contest the claim.
The soccer association "intends to pursue all available avenues to enforce the judgment in any jurisdiction where CONCACAF has reason to believe Mr. Warner may have assets," plaintiff lawyer John Kuster said in a statement Wednesday.
Warner, 76, is a defendant in a sprawling criminal investigation that has resulted in convictions of several top soccer officials. He's out on bail while challenging a U.S. extradition request to Trinidad and Tobago, where he's denied any wrongdoing.
There was no immediate response Wednesday to an email sent to one of his lawyers.

That is beside the point.
That court has no jurisdiction to try Jack and charade in that court room was an insult to the entire justice system of the USA.
They will not get a damn cent from Jack
If they so brave, let them go Trinidad and get Jack nah.
He may not have been liked by some as a politician, but when it comes to this matter, Trinis will only accept his trial in a Trinidad court.
If the Trump administration has evidence, let them present it in a Trinidad court.
