ZURICH (AP) FIFA and embattled President Sepp Blatter faced more pressure on Monday as U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch predicted a new round of indictments in a widening investigation of corruption in international soccer.
''We do anticipate pursuing additional charges against individuals and entities,'' Lynch said in FIFA's home city, in her first news conference about the case since the stunning May 27 arrests of seven people at a luxury hotel in Zurich.
Lynch spoke alongside her Swiss counterpart, Michael Lauber, whose separate investigation of money laundering appears equally threatening to FIFA and its soon-departing president.
Swiss federal agencies have seized properties in the Swiss Alps and seized evidence during house searches in western Switzerland, Lauber said.
