Switzerland to probe 53 ‘suspicious’ FIFA cases
Swiss prosecutors are investigating 53 cases of possible money laundering as they look into FIFA’s handling of bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, AFP reported. The “suspicious” cases have been reported by banks and a “huge and complex” inquiry into football’s world body could take months if not years, Attorney General Michael Lauber said Wednesday. The 53 are individuals and companies and each case could involve many more transactions. A special task force has been set up to look into the World Cup bids.
