Paraguay's Senate voted Thursday to repeal a law giving immunity to the headquarters of South America's soccer confederation, the latest fallout from a sweeping U.S. investigation into an alleged bribery scheme in FIFA. The Senate's unanimous decision sends the bill to President Horacio Cartes, who has said he supports it. The measure was approved last week by the House of Deputies, AP reported. The move comes amid a major bribery scandal and investigation into FIFA operations. One of 14 soccer officials indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice was Nicolas Leoz, a Paraguayan and former FIFA executive committee member. He was also a former long-time president of the confederation, known as CONMEBOL. -- SPA 22:49 LOCAL TIME 19:49 GMT تغريد
