The exact number of arrests isn’t known, but the New York Times reports that prosecutors will unseal an indictment against more than 10 officials in what is shaping up as the first step in exposing corruption allegations that have plagued FIFA for years.
President Sepp Blatter - who is set to win a fifth term in office - was not one of the individuals charged, police confirmed, but members of FIFA’s executive committee have been targeted. It is a huge blow to FIFA’s reputation ahead of the presidential elections.

"We're struck by just how long this went on for and how it touched nearly every part of what FIFA did," said a law enforcement official. "It just seemed to permeate every element of the federation and was just their way of doing business. It seems like this corruption was institutionalised."
