Ex-FIFA Vice President Placed Under House Arrest

Former FIFA vice president Alfredo Hawit, charged in the corruption scandal gripping world football, has been placed under house arrest after posting $1 million bail.

The 64-year-old was extradited to the United States from Switzerland last month following his arrest on December 3. He denies the 12 charges against him, which include racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering.

Hawit posted $1 million in bail at a Brooklyn court, of which he paid $50,000 in cash. The rest was guaranteed with property. A judge agreed last month to release Hawit into house arrest, but he stayed in detention until he could make bail. Hawit will now stay with his daughter in Florida while observing the arrest.

Hawit is one of 39 officials and marketing executives accused of soliciting and receiving tens of millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks.

Bill Cosby Tries To Block S3x Assault Prosecution

Comedian Bill Cosby on Tuesday sought to derail Pennsylvania prosecutors’ effort to make him stand trial on sexual assault charges, contending that a deal reached over a decade ago gave him immunity from prosecution.

An entertainer who built a career on family-friendly comedy, Cosby now faces accusations from more than 50 women that he sexually assaulted them, often after plying them with drugs and alcohol, in a series of attacks dating to the 1960s.

Prosecutors late last year charged Cosby, 78, with sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, a former basketball coach at his alma mater Temple University, just days before the statue of limitations to bring charges ran out.
   
Constand’s allegations are the only ones to have resulted in criminal charges against the actor, although Cosby also faces a series of civil lawsuits related to alleged rapes. Cosby has long denied wrongdoing, and his lawyers have asked the judge to dismiss the Constand case.

Update On The Teenage Girl Impregnated By EFCC Official

The Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, has ordered investigation into the battery of a pregnant woman by one of its operatives in Lagos.
