Honduran ex-president bailed in FIFA corruption case
Former Honduran president Rafael Callejas
New York - Arab Today
Former Honduran president Rafael Callejas was released on bail Thursday, two days after pleading not guilty in a New York court over his alleged role in the corruption scandal shaking FIFA.
Callejas, president of Honduras from 1990 to 1994 and head of the country's football federation until August, faces eight US charges of racketeering, fraud and money laundering.
The 72-year-old Callejas, a current member of FIFA's Television and Marketing Committee, was released on bail of $4 million, his son Lisandro Flores -- who made the payment in a Brooklyn court -- told AFP.
Callejas left Honduras on Monday on a private jet to face justice in the United States.
He is accused of receiving $1.6 million in bribes between March 2011 and January 2013 for broadcast rights of games played by the Honduran national team.
A total of 39 people and two companies have been charged by US authorities in connection with the scandal at FIFA, football's graft-mired world governing body.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
