"I don't think that the Swiss prosecutors office considered that it was the day before my birthday," Blatter said.
French authorities, working under a request for help by the Swiss attorney general in the case against former FIFA president Sepp Blatter, on Tuesday raided the headquarters of the French Football Federation in Paris, multiple news outlets reported.
According to SwissInfo.ch, Swiss justice authorities say the French Financial Prosecution Office seized documents in connection with a suspected payment of $2 million that has been the subject of allegations against Blatter. The Swiss attorney general was present during the search, and the French prosecutor's office confirmed that documents useful to the Swiss investigation were taken.
