☆ US judge throws out two soccer bribery convictions

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Sept 2 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge has thrown out the convictions of a former Fox executive and an Argentine sports marketing company for attempting to bribe soccer officials in exchange for lucrative broadcasting contracts. In a Friday night decision, U.S. District Judge Pamela Chen in Brooklyn said the March 9 convictions of Hernan Lopez and Full Play Group could not stand because the federal law governing honest services wire fraud did not cover foreign commercial bribery. The judge also voided Lopez's and Full Play's money laundering convictions, because they were predicated on the fraud convictions. David Sarratt, a lawyer for Lopez, said: "We are obviously pleased with Judge Chen's thorough and correct decision. At least 31 people and corporate entities pleaded guilty, and two soccer officials were convicted in a 2017 jury trial.

Hernan Lopez is the former head of Fox International Channels, a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox. A New York federal jury found a former 21st Century Fox executive guilty of bribing FIFA officials for the broadcasting rights to lucrative soccer matches, but acquitted his former subordinate on the same charges. Hernan Lopez , the former head of subsidiary Fox International Channels, was convicted of conspiring to commit wire fraud and launder money, in a scheme to make tens of millions of dollars in illicit payments and kickbacks between 2000 and 2015 to South American soccer officials in exchange for the broadcasting rights to the region’s most popular club tournament, the Copa Libertadores, and other matches. His co-defendant, Carlos Martinez, was found not guilty of the two counts.
☆ 'Avatar' director James Cameron said he pushed back on changes the studio wanted by reminding it that his 'Titanic' paid for a 'new half-billion dollar complex'

"Avatar" director James Cameron told NYT how he pushed back against proposed studio changes. He reminded the studio, 20th Century Fox at the time, that he also made "Titanic." "Titanic" was the highest-grossing movie of all time — until "Avatar" topped it. Cameron told The New York Times that he reminded 20th Century Fox of how much money his "Titanic" earned when pushing back on studio notes (the Fox film studio has since been acquired by Disney and is now 20th Century Studios). It was the biggest movie ever — until "Avatar" topped it 12 years later.
