BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - A former top official inside South America's football confederation, Jose Luis Meiszner, surrendered to Argentine police on Wednesday, local media said, after U.S. justice officials charged him with involvement in a FIFA bribery racket. News Channel TN showed Meiszner arriving at a police station in Quilmes just south of the capital Buenos Aires. Meiszner stepped down as secretary-general of the CONMEBOL confederation on Dec. 4.
