Soccer's world governing body FIFA has launched a case to reclaim millions of dollars illegally pocketed by corrupt officials.
FIFA started legal proceedings in an attempt to recoup millions of dollars pocketed illegally by 41 corrupt officials and other organizations.
The sport's world governing body has seen former president Sepp Blatter and vice-president Michel Platini banned from the game following a widespread corruption scandal, while other former officials — including Chuck Blazer, Jack Warner and Jeffrey Webb — have been indicted in an ongoing investigation by the United States Department of Justice.
The latest development means FIFA, now under the leadership of newly elected president Gianni Infantino, is taking action against those involved in an attempt to reclaim the "tens of millions of dollars" taken illegally.
