Blatter wins re-election despite FIFA corruption scandal

Authorities in the US warned of further charges in the FIFA bribery investigation as Sepp Blatter, was re-elected despite the crisis engulfing the sport and investigators in Argentina raided the offices of sports media companies.

A senior US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official said late on Friday that he was "fairly confident" of another round of indictments in the criminal investigation into alleged corruption within Fifa, according to a report. In Britain the Serious Fraud Office said it was "actively assessing material in its possession" regarding the Fifa allegations.

Several senior Fifa figures have been indicted in bribery and kickback schemes, although no charges were brought against Blatter, who was re-elected on Friday in a move decried by many because of the huge scandal that has blown up on his watch.
