Ex-FIFA official asks to live at home with pool tied to alleged bribe

By David Ingram NEW YORK, Aug 27 (Reuters) - A former high-ranking soccer official charged with soliciting bribes, including $500,000 that allegedly went to build a swimming pool at his house, wants to stay in that house near Atlanta while he awaits trial, his lawyer said on Thursday. Jeffrey Webb, a former vice president at soccer's world governing body FIFA, is charged with using his position to solicit bribes from sports marketing companies. The costs associated with staying around New York "are now posing extraordinary financial and logistical burdens on Mr. Webb and his immediate family," his lawyer, Edward O'Callaghan, wrote in the letter to U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie.
