Guatemala's Hector Trujillo Sentenced To Eight Months In Prison

A former judge who led Guatemala's football federation has become the first person sentenced in the U.S. in the FIFA world football corruption scandal, getting eight months in prison.
Hector Trujillo, 63, was sentenced Wednesday in federal court in Brooklyn. He had pleaded guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy in June.
Trujillo admitted accepting nearly $200,000 in bribes from a company trying to secure sports marketing contracts.
Prosecutors said the former general secretary of Guatemala's football federation should serve more than three years in prison and pay $415,000 in restitution. Defense lawyers asked for no prison time for crimes between 2009 and 2016.

According to Trujillo's plea agreement, he would not contest any sentence less than four years and nine months in prison. Trujillo also agreed to forfeit $175,000. Free on $4 million bail, he has been staying in Miami.
He was arrested in December 2015 in Port Canaveral, Florida, during a Disney cruise with his family.

How to really run a successful blog.

1. Action The only reason why the 10 most successful bloggers in Nigeria are today being referred to as “ bloggers ” is that they started blogging in the first place. They took action quickly at a time when blogging wasn’t popular and they have now achieved enviable successes. They didn’t balk. They didn’t wait for the “ perfect time .” They believed with blogging they could make it really. 2. Passion This is another quality that all these 10 bloggers have in common. They all figured out topics they are passionate about and started blogging on those topics. This passion kept them going even though nobody gave them attention back then.
