Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said Monday that the United States’ crackdown on corruption in global soccer is expanding, with new charges expected in the coming months.
Ms. Lynch made the comments only a few miles from FIFA’s headquarters in Switzerland at the start of a week in which the FIFA case will take center stage in Europe, with law enforcement officials from around the world congregating in Zurich and Amsterdam to hear how the case came together and how it will unfold.
“We anticipate pursuing additional charges against individuals and entities,” Ms. Lynch said Monday of the United States’ investigation, a coordinated effort among the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service.
