FIFA story rapidly developing.
Swiss authorities opening criminal proceedings over the allocation of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup Bids.
Bribery, corruption, money laundering accusations being made. Figures of FIFA's inner circle being arrested pending extradition.
FIFA news conference about now. U.S. Attorney General to speak later.
This is huge news. I thought it might be a cynical move by Blatter ahead of The President vote on Friday, to show that he's determined to clean the governance up and that would be his sole manifesto for re-election... but think it's all growing way beyond that now.
Blatter is in big trouble, and not before time.
