Fifa arrests: Two 'high ranking' officials arrested for 'accepting bribes of millions of dollars'
The Swiss Federal Office of Justice has not named those arrested, although they have been described as 'high ranking'
Two Fifa officials were arrested in another pre-dawn raid of the Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich on suspicion "of accepting bribes of millions of dollars", the Swiss Federal Office of Justice (FOJ) has announced.
The luxury establishment used by Fifa officials was swooped upon for the second time this year, with the New York Times reporting Fifa vice-presidents - Alfredo Hawit of Honduras and Juan Angel Napout of Paraguay - have been detained on orders issued by the FOJ on behalf of the US Department of Justice.
It is understood Fifa president Sepp Blatter has not been arrested as part of this latest raid.
A statement from the FOJ said: "On the instructions of the Federal Office of Justice (FOJ), a further two Fifa officials were arrested in Zurich today. They are being held in custody pending their extradition. According to the US arrest requests, they are suspected of accepting bribes of millions of dollars.
"The high-ranking Fifa officials are alleged to have taken the money in return for selling marketing rights in connection with football tournaments in Latin America, as well as World Cup qualifying matches."
Fifa has acknowledged the latest controversy, saying in a statement issued to Press Association Sport: "Fifa became aware of the actions taken today by the US Department of Justice. Fifawill continue to co-operate fully with the US investigation as permitted by Swiss law, as well as with the investigation being led by the Swiss Office of the Attorney General.
"Fifa will have no further comment on today's developments."

Latest:
Fifa’s ethics committee has concluded investigations into suspended president Sepp Blatter and Uefa president Michel Platini and is understood to be seeking lengthy bans for the pair.
A statement from the investigatory chamber of the committee said final reports had been submitted containing “requests for sanctions” over a payment made to Platini by Fifa in 2011.
It is understood this request will be for bans of several years based on four potential ethics code breaches: mismanagement, conflict of interest, false accounting and non co-operation with or criticising the ethics committee.
There was no written agreement for the 2million Swiss franc payment – Blatter and Platini say it was an oral agreement made between them 13 years previously. It is also being investigated by Swiss legal authorities as a “disloyal payment”, and the fact they did not report it the outstanding debt to Fifa’s financial department in the intervening years could be a case of false accounting.
The next step is for Hans-Joachin Eckert, the German judge who heads the adjudicatory panel of the ethics committee, to decide whether to summon Platini and Blatter to disciplinary hearings. He is likely to make that decision early next week after studying the investigators’ report.

Blatter and Platini had appeals against their bans dismissed by Fifa’s appeals committee earlier this week and on Friday the latter – who wants to stand to be Blatter’s replacement in February – took his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
An ethics committee statement said: “The investigatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee has submitted its final reports containing requests for sanctions against Joseph Blatter and Michel Platini to the adjudicatory chamber chaired by Hans-Joachim Eckert.
“The final report regarding Joseph S. Blatter was submitted by Robert Torres, the report regarding Michel Platini was submitted by Vanessa Allard. For reasons linked to privacy rights and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, the chamber will not publish details of the concluded reports and the requested sanctions against the two officials.”
Blatter said earlier this week that he was disappointed to have lost his initial appeal and that there was no evidence of improper conduct relating to the payment to Platini.
A spokesman for Eckert said in a statement: “The adjudicatory chamber of the independent ethics committee chaired by Hans-Joachim Eckert has today received the final reports concerning the investigations against Joseph S. Blatter and Michel Platini carried out by the investigatory chamber.
“The adjudicatory chamber will study the reports carefully and decide in due course about whether to institute formal adjudicatory proceedings against Joseph S. Blatter and Michel Platini.”

As much as i think hes been a twat, to get hospitalised due to stress is sad for anyone, saying that he only has himself to blame.
http://www.espnfc.co.uk/blog/fifa/243/post/2708359/fifa-president-sepp-blatter-hospitalized-over-stress
Outgoing FIFA president Sepp Blatter is to remain in hospital until next week after suffering what has been described as a "small emotional breakdown" but his stay will not prevent him from fighting his provisional ban imposed by the ethics committee of world football, his adviser has said.
