FIFA, led by president Sepp Blatter, has come under fire
The FBI and U.S. prosecutors are investigating former FIFA president Sepp Blatter as part of the probe that led to last week’s stunning indictments, sources have told a US news network.
The FBI declined to comment because Blatter has not been publicly identified as a target of the investigation.
U.S. authorities last week indicted 14 people — nine football officials and five sports-marketing executives — who face charges of wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering. They are accused of accepting more than $150 million in bribes.
