FiFa Top Officials Arrested Over Corruption Charges

Six FiFa football officials have been arrested at a hotel in Zurich, Switzerland , over corruption charges.

The suspects, who are said to include a Fifa vice-president, have been detained pending extradition to the US.

The charges include money laundering, racketeering and wire fraud.

Fifa members are gathering in Zurich for their annual meeting on Friday, where incumbent President Sepp Blatter is seeking a fifth term.

However, Mr Blatter is not understood to be one of them.
