A Brazilian FIFA official who headed the 2014 World Cup organizing committee and was extradited this week from Switzerland has pleaded not guilty in a New York courtroom to charges stemming from a sprawling bribery case.
Jose Maria Marin appeared Tuesday before a judge in federal court. He will be freed on $15 million bond.
He is the second FIFA official to waive extradition to face charges in the United States in a $150 million corruption case linked to broadcasting rights.
The 83-year-old was arrested in May.
Last year's World Cup featured 32 teams and was held in Brazil. Germany beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the final.
