Prosecutors move drop soccer bribery case, New York Times reports

WASHINGTON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Federal prosecutors have moved to dismiss charges against a former Fox executive and an Argentine sports marketing company convicted of trying to bribe soccer officials in exchange for lucrative broadcasting contracts, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.

U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of New York Joseph Nocella Jr. wrote a letter on Tuesday to the judge who oversaw the case, saying that dismissing it was in the interest of justice.
