The United States wants indicted former FIFA vice president Jack Warner extradited.

As expected, Trinidad and Tobago’s attorney general received a United States request Wednesday for the extradition of former FIFA vice president Jack Warner on corruption charges.

Gavin Nicholas told reporters In Port of Spain that his office will evaluate the documents from the U.S. Justice Department to decide whether to take the extradition matter before a magistrate.

Warner is scheduled to appear before a court Monday. He has vowed to take down the Trinidadian government along with FIFA if he is prosecuted by the U.S.

Accused of a myriad of corruption crimes, from looting Caribbean soccer federations to taking money intended for the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Warner is resisting extradition on charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering in the massive FIFA corruption case that has rocked international soccer. He remains out on bail in Port of Spain.

The Eastern District of New York is leading the prosecution.

Trinidad legal experts believe that Warner will attempt to tie himself up in the Trinidad court system long enough to avoid extradition. He is 72 years old and his lawyer, British barrister Edward Fitzgerald, has had success fighting extradition for other Trinidad businessmen.

U.S. prosecutors allege South Africa funneled $10 million in 2008 to Warner and two other FIFA executives as payment for them supporting its successful bid to host the 2010 World Cup.
