Fifa probe: French federation searched in Sepp Blatter case

9 March 2016 Football

French authorities have seized documents from the French Football Federation in connection with Switzerland's criminal investigation into ex-Fifa president Sepp Blatter.

According to Switzerland's office of the attorney general, the documents are connected to "the suspected payment of 2m Swiss francs (£700,000)".

It said the search in Paris was carried out at Switzerland's request.

The criminal investigation into Blatter, 79, began in September.
