Two high-ranking FIFA officials on Thursday morning have been arrested by the Swiss police on suspicion of 'having received bribes of millions of dollars' in a raid on Baur au Lac, a luxury hotel in Zurich.
This is the second time in this year police have swooped on FIFA officials this year in relation to allegations of collecting bribes in return for selling marketing and publicity rights for tournaments in South America and also World Cup qualifying matches.
It is believed the two men arrested at 6a.m Thursday morning are FIFA vice-presidents Alfredo Hawit of Honduras and Juan Angel Napout of Paraguay.
