PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, May 28 2015 – Jack Warner, the former FIFA vice president, was released from jail Thursday afternoon and left in an ambulance for a private hospital.
On Wednesday, he was unable to secure his release even after he was granted TT$2.5 million bail by Chief Magistrate Marcia Ayers-Caesar.
Warner was charged with 12 offences related to racketeering, corruption and money laundering allegedly committed in the jurisdiction of the United States and Trinidad and Tobago, dating as far back as 1990.
Warner, who was not called upon to plead, when he appeared in court, is to surrender his travel documents and report to the police twice weekly as part of his bail conditions.
Warner did not speak to reporters, who had been camped outside the Royal Jail on Frederick Street in Port of Spain, as he left the prison.
He is due to re-appear in court on July 9.
