JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa police say Uruguayan soccer officials have declined to pursue a theft case after allegations emerged that one of their own may have been responsible.
Police spokesman Leon Engelbrecht says after receiving a report that about $12,000 was missing from two of the delegation’s Cape Town hotel rooms several hours before Uruguay played France on Friday, authorities reviewed hotel surveillance camera footage.
Engelbrecht said when delegation members saw the footage, they decided not to open a case.
