Guatemala police said yesterday they have arrested fugitive former soccer federation president Brayan Jimenez in connection with a corruption probe into the sport’s world governing body, FIFA.

Guatemala’s prosecutor’s office previously said it received an order from the Foreign Ministry to proceed with the extraditio­n of Jimenez to the United States once apprehende­d, and had released an arrest warrant for him.
