Fifa corruption claims: Key questions answered
Fifa, football's governing body, has
been hit by two corruption inquiries. Seven Fifa officials have been
arrested in Switzerland at the request of the US authorities after they
were indicted for corruption. The amounts involved are alleged to be
above $150m (£97m).
Hours later,
the Swiss authorities launched their own criminal inquiry into the
bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Swiss police raided
Fifa's headquarters in Zurich and seized electronic evidence.
