“Honey, I think we should stay at home for Christmas this year.” This is the line that may well have been said by Marco Polo Del Nero, the president of the Brazilian Soccer Federation to his wife. The reason is straightforward: Marco Polo (as he is known in Brazil) was indicted on the same money-laundering and wire fraud charges as the three former FIFA officials currently in trial in Brooklyn. By staying in Brazil, Marco Polo is not subject to extradition to the United States.
