NEW YORK, Rabi'I 28, 1437, January 08, 2016, SPA -- A Guatemalan judge indicted in a probe of global soccer corruption must wear an electronic monitor and can't be more than 50 miles from the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, as part of a bail agreement set Thursday by a U.S. magistrate, accoding to AP. The bail agreement for Hector Trujillo also set his bond at $4 million. Trujillo's attorney said friends and relatives would be putting up cash and real estate properties as security for the bond. Trujillo was general secretary of Guatemala's soccer federation at the time of his arrest last month. U.S. authorities took him into custody on a cruise ship docked in Florida waters. He was among 16 men charged in an indictment that is part of a broad investigation into FIFA, the international soccer governing body, and he faces charges including racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering. As part of the bail agreement, Trujillo can't associate with any of his co-defendents unless it's at a meeting with attorneys. The indictment charged the men with bribes and kickbacks connected to international soccer matches. --SPA 01:14 LOCAL TIME 22:14 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
