Swiss prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into Sepp Blatter, the outgoing head of the world soccer body FIFA, on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and misappropriation, the Swiss attorney-general's office (OAG) says.

It said Blatter was interrogated after a meeting of FIFA's executive committee in Zurich and authorities carried out a search at the body's headquarters on Friday (local time).

"The office of the FIFA president has been searched and data seized," the OAG said in a statement.

US and Swiss authorities announced in May they were investigating corruption at the highest levels of the world's most popular sport, including in the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 world cups to Russia and Qatar respectively.

1. An entrenched, corrupt head will go to prison only because he pissed off a lot of other rich corrupt

people who didn't get their way! Although it's not Amerika so he was even more at risk of prosecution.
