Swiss make more arrests in FIFA corruption scandal
  • 8 years ago
Swiss law enforcement officials made more arrests in the ongoing investigation of soccer's world governing body FIFA, some of them in a pre-dawn raid on a hotel in Zurich, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing law enforcement officials.
Authorities have said for months to expect a second wave of corruption charges in soccer following U.S. charges in May against 14 officials and sports marketing executives with paying and taking bribes.
U.S. Department of Justice officials were expected to appear at a news conference in Washington as soon as Thursday to discuss the case, people familiar with the plans said.
