MILLIONS of Swiss francs in bank accounts belonging to world soccer’s governing body FIFA have been frozen, the Swiss justice ministry has said.
US officials believe “corruption money” may have been transited through the frozen accounts, the ministry said.
Between 50m and 100m Swiss francs ($50.1m-100.2m; £34m-£67m) has been frozen, media reports say.Meanwhile, suspended FIFA President Sepp Blatter has appeared before the organisation’s ethics committee.
Blatter, who is due to depart from Fifa on 26 February when his successor will be elected, arrived at the governing body’s headquarters in Zurich in a chauffeur-driven car accompanied by one of his lawyers.
He is strongly pleading his innocence over corruption allegations being heard in front of the committee, made up of four judges. They are expected to make a ruling early next week.
