A Cayman Islands’ soccer federation official and former longtime associate at offshore law firm Maples and Calder was arrested late last week in connection with a money laundering probe.

The Anti-Corruption Commission in the Cayman Islands announced the arrest on June 29. A July 3 statement from Cayman-based lawyer Steve McField confirmed that the commission arrested his client, Bruce Blake, a former member of Maples’ finance group who has recently served as first vice president for the Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA).
