adminZURICH. — US Attorney-General Loretta Lynch said yesterday that she expects more charges against “individuals and entities” as part of her office’s probe into corruption at world football governing body FIFA.
Fourteen FIFA officials and sports marketing executives were charged in the United States in May on racketeering charges involving more than $150 million.
“We do anticipate additional charges against individuals,” Lynch said at a joint Press conference with her Swiss counterpart in Zurich.
“The scope of our investigation is not limited, and we are following the evidence where it leads,” she continued.
“I am grateful for the significant cooperation and substantial evidence that we have received from all quarters.
“Based upon that cooperation and new evidence, we anticipate pursuing additional charges against individuals and entities.” — AFP.
