A criminal case against two former 21st Century Fox executives and a sports marketing company accused of bribing South American football officials to obtain lucrative broadcasting rights will reveal "a culture of corruption," a prosecutor told a jury in a Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday.

The former Fox executives, Hernan Lopez and Carlos Martinez, and Buenos Aires-based Full Play Group SA have pleaded not guilty to crimes including wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy.

The charges are part of a long-running corruption probe surrounding Fifa, the world governing body for football.
