Documents 'show how Jack Warner used FIFA's $10m cash meant for legacy schemes on personal loans and credit card bills

Former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner is facing extradition to the United States over bribery allegations

Former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner 'diverted' some $10million paid by the South African government to host the 2010 World Cup to pay his personal bills. 

The cash had been paid to FIFA and then moved to CONCACAF accounts controlled by Warner. Officially, the money was intended for 'football legacy schemes' but it was moved around Trinidad and Tobago by the 72-year-old businessman. 
Prosecutors believe that the South African government paid out $10 million to FIFA in bribes in order to win the right to host the 2010 world cup
