A New York judge has overturned a pair of convictions in the long-running FIFA soccer corruption probe, citing recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings that shoot holes in the argument that commercial bribery payments run afoul of U.S. laws.

U.S. District Judge Pamela Chen of the Eastern District of New York has acquitted former Fox TV executive Hernán Lopez, and Argentine sports marketing company Full Play, saying the Supreme Court’s rulings in to vacate public corruption convictions for Joseph Percoco, once a top aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo; and Buffalo real estate developer Louis Ciminelli indicate that the statute the defendants were charged under does not apply to foreign commercial bribery schemes.
