Fifa’s questionable reputation as the governing body of football has been brought into further disrepute as news broke this morning of six high-profile arrests of members of the organisation in Switzerland.
The men have been apprehended on suspicion of corruption, with a scandal involving bribes totalling millions of dollars seemingly set to be revealed.
This wrongdoing is reported as occurring from the early 1990’s through to the current day.
Of the men arrested, current organisation vice-president Jeffrey Webb is the most high profile, while his predecessor Jack Warner has also been detained according to the New York Times.
