Litigation partner Antonia Apps will participate in a NYU panel discussion titled Red Card for FIFA: Inside the Case Against Global Soccer on September 16. The Forum, co-hosted by the Law School’s Program on Corporate Compliance and Enforcement, will explore the federal investigation that led to the indictment of nine world soccer officials in an alleged $150 million bribery scheme. Join us for a discussion of how the investigation came about, what the racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering charges mean for the individual defendants and FIFA, and why the US was able to—and chose to—exercise jurisdiction. Panelists include former prosecutors (two now defense lawyers) and one of the world’s leading soccer journalists. For further information click here.
