Interpol said it issued so-called red notices -- not an international arrest warrant -- for Warner, former President of CONCACAF, which governs football in North and Central America and the Caribbean, and Nicolas Leoz, the former head of South America's football federation.
The others are Alejandro Burzaco, Hugo Jinkis and Mariano Jinkis, who are among football officials and sports media and promotion executives hit with U.S. graft charges involving more than $150 million (98 million pounds) in bribes, and Jose Margulies, a Brazilian citizen who headed two offshore companies that were involved in the broadcasting of football matches.
The move comes one week after the world's most popular sport was rocked by U.S. corruption charges and a criminal investigation into the awarding of the next two World Cups.
