"Mr. Marin says he loves the sport, yet he and his co-conspirators were the very cancer on the sport he claims to love. His crime was one of pure and unmitigated and unchecked greed."

-- U.S. District Court Judge Pamela K. Chen, saying she wanted to “send a message of deterrence” with her sentence of four years in prison, fine of $1.2 million and forfeiture of more than $3.3 million imposed on former Brazilian soccer federation president Jose Maria Marin, who was found guilty on six counts of racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering conspiracy in the FIFA corruption trial.
