More charges could be brought as the investigation into improper practices at FIFA continues, Loretta Lynch has said.
The investigation into corruption at FIFA has been expanded and further charges are anticipated, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Monday.
The world game's governing body was rocked in May when 14 officials, nine of whom had current or previous links to FIFA, including former vice president Jack Warner, were indicted on racketeering and money laundering charges.
Lynch explained huge volumes of evidence had already been gathered, while Michael Lauber — the attorney general of Switzerland who is running a separate investigation — said house searches had taken place and some financial assets had been seized as part of the investigation, including properties in the Swiss Alps.
