MANAGUA, Nicaragua \u2014 Julio Rocha<\/a>, a former president of the Nicaraguan soccer federation<\/a> who was convicted in the United States in a corruption scandal at FIFA, died on Saturday. He was 67.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manuel Quintanilla<\/a>, the federation\u2019s current president, said his predecessor died after an illness he had had \u201cfor several months.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A federation spokesman, Moises Avalos<\/a>, told Nueva Radio Ya<\/a> that Rocha had cancer. He added that family members petitioned for him to be able to return from the United States to die in his home country, \u201cbut unfortunately nothing could be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rocha was president of the federation from 1987 to 2012 and director of the Central American Soccer Union<\/a> from 2003 to 2007.<\/p>\n

In 2013, he became development director for CONCACAF<\/a>. It was in that capacity\u00a0he was arrested in May 2015<\/a>, along with other soccer executives from Latin America, at a hotel in Switzerland. He was extradited to the United States.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Rocha was accused of taking more than $150,000 in bribes linked to the sale of marketing rights, and in 2016 he pleaded guilty in a United States court to racketeering conspiracy and wire fraud conspiracy.<\/p>\n

Rocha was awaiting sentencing at the time of his death, and faced a maximum of 20 years in prison for each count.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
