A member of FIFA's ethics committee, Uruguayan lawyer Juan Pedro Damiani, is being internally investigated for links with an allegedly corrupt football official. Damiani has acted in sensitive ethics cases involving leading football officials since July 2012.
Figueredo was charged by US authorities with wire fraud and money laundering for his role in the alleged bribery conspiracy.
Despite that, he was extradited to Uruguay in December where he was also wanted on similar charges.
Discovery of his links to Damiani are the result of a leak of over 11 million documents from the internal files of Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-based law firm that specialises in helping the wealthy and powerful set up offshore companies.
