"Having examined all of the relevant evidence and based on Miguel Trujillo's guilty plea before the federal court in New York, the investigatory chamber has opened formal proceedings against Mr Trujillo," the investigatory body of FIFA's ethics committee said in a statement on Wednesday.
"As a licensed FIFA match agent, he was bound by the FIFA Code of Ethics."
It will investigate payments from Trujillo to several soccer officials, the investigatory chamber said.
