Breaking!! FIFA completes internal investigation into corruption (See Details)

 Football’s governing body Fifa has passed on further evidence to Swiss and United States authorities as it completed its internal investigation into alleged corruption.

It has been co-operating with law enforcement since May 2015 when Fifa members were arrested in Zurich.

“We have now completed that [22-month] investigation and handed the evidence over to the authorities,” said Fifa president Gianni Infantino.
Criminal investigations are ongoing.

Fifa says reports of more than 1,300 pages were produced after the review of more than 2.5m documents and interviews with “key witnesses”. There were also more than 20,000 pages of exhibits. These were all shared with the Swiss authorities, according to the governing body.

It added that from its findings it will make changes to its internal departments which will be revealed at the end of April.

In May 2015, Swiss authorities raided a Zurich hotel and arrested seven people who were among 14 indicted on corruption charges in an inquiry led by the United States Department of Justice.

In December that year, 16 more officials were charged following the arrest of two Fifa vice-presidents in at the same hotel in Zurich.
