FIFA vice-presidents arrested at Zurich hotel

Two Fifa vice presidents have been arrested in a dawn raid at a Swiss hotel on suspicion of accepting millions of dollars of bribes.

Concacaf president Alfredo Hawit and Conmebol president Juan Angel Napout were taken from the Baur au Lac hotel, Zurich, where several Fifa officials were also arrested in May.

Fifa's executive committee is meeting in the city to vote on reforms. It says it will "fully co-operate" with separate US and Swiss investigations.

The US Department of Justice requested Thursday morning's arrests and will hold a news conference at 18:30 GMT.

Hawit, 64, is interim president for North, Central America and Caribbean football, while Napout, 57, oversees football in the South American confederation.

In May, seven Fifa officials, including another two vice presidents, were arrested at the same hotel at the request of a US investigation into corruption, as football's world governing body was engulfed by claims of widespread wrongdoing.

The Swiss Federal Office of Justice (FoJ) has said Hawit and Napout are alleged to have taken money for selling marketing rights in connection with football tournaments in Latin America, as well as World Cup qualifying matches.

"They are being held in custody pending their extradition [to the US]. According to the US arrest requests, they are suspected of accepting bribes of millions of dollars," the Swiss FoJ said.

A Swiss criminal investigation into the bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups was also launched earlier this year, alongside the US inquiry.

Fifa said in a statement earlier it would "continue to co-operate fully with the US investigation as permitted by Swiss law, as well as with the investigation being led by the Swiss Office of the Attorney General".
