FIFA is going to try and reclaim millions of dollars pocketed illegally by corrupt FIFA
members and other football officials.
A U.S.-based probe exposed deeply-ingrained corruption within and around football's world
governing body and FIFA estimates tens of millions of dollars were diverted from the
sport through bribery, kickbacks and corrupt schemes carried out by the defendants, including
former executives Jack Warner, Chuck Blazer and Jeffrey Webb.
FIFA has submitted documents to the U.S. authorities in an effort to get the cash back.
Football's ruling body has admitted to bribes being taken as part of the bidding process
for the 1998 and 2010 World Cups.
