The independent FIFA Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into possible ethical violations by former organization president Sepp Blatter and his associates.
Violations of the FIFA Code of Ethics are also charged against general secretaries Jerome Valcke and Markus Kattner. All three former FIFA officials have been suspended from football for a long time.
FIFA has brought specific charges against all three men. The football community at large accuses them of violating various FIFA rules, breaching obligations, or engaging in conflicts of interest.
Possible bribes, salary increases, and various bonuses for unknown reasons are also included in the case.
It is worth noting that in February of this year, longtime UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino became the new FIFA president.
