FBI investigating fresh $100M bribery allegations against Sepp Blatter

The suspended FIFA president faces fresh investigations by the FBI in connection with a $100 million bribery scandal, according to the BBC.

Sepp Blatter is facing a fresh investigation by the FBI with the suspended FIFA president being linked to a $100 million bribery scandal, according to a BBC investigation.

A BBC Panorama documentary, titled "Panorama: Fifa, Blatter and Me" and airing Monday, claims sports marketing company ISL allegedly paid off ex-FIFA executive Ricardo Teixeira and former FIFA president Joao Havelange.

In return for the payments, ISL was awarded television and marketing rights during the 1990s, but Blatter, who is currently suspended by FIFA, denies all knowledge of the bribes.
