CONMEBOL President Says $10M Lawsuit Could Force Body To Leave Paraguay HQ

CONMEBOL President Alejandro Dominguez said that the body "could be forced to leave Paraguay" due to a $10M lawsuit relating to "the land where its headquarters stand," according to Daniela Desantis of REUTERS. The suit "pertains to the title deed for the land in Luque, just outside the capital Asuncion." Dominguez: "We asked for more information to see if our deed is or isn't legitimate and the answer I got was that it is totally legitimate. But unfortunately this is something that threatens CONMEBOL's presence in Paraguay." He added that CONMEBOL "was also facing nine other suits, many from former employees." Dominguez was elected president of the organization in January (REUTERS, 4/4).
