Five current and former members of FIFA's ruling executive committee were among 16 additional men indicted on corruption charges Thursday as part of U.S. prosecutors' widening investigation into soccer corruption.
Led away by Swiss federal police in a pre-dawn raid at a Zurich hotel were Juan Angel Napoutof Paraguay, president of the South American confederation, and Alfredo Hawitof Honduras, head of the North and Central American and Caribbean governing body. The arrests came just before FIFA's executive committee met to approve reform measures.
