FBI agents in the US investigating alleged corruption in FIFA raided the North and Central American association CONCACAF’s headquarters in Miami on Wednesday, hours after seven highly placed FIFA executives were arrested in an early morning raid in a luxury hotel in Zurich, Switzerland.
As US officials unveiled an indictment against several senior FIFA and CONCACAF figures and arrests were carried out in Switzerland, agents entered the four-storey South Beach office building with boxes to gather evidence.
The current and former presidents of CONCACAF, Jeffrey Webb and Jack Warner, are among 14 defendants accused of masterminding a 24-year-old multimillion-dollar kickback scheme on football marketing contracts.
