Six Fifa officials, including vice president Jeffrey Webb, have been arrested on suspicions of corruption in dawn raids at a Zurich hotel ahead of Friday's presidential election.
The members of the world governing body were held by Swiss police at the US Department of Justice's request.
They are suspected of having received bribes totalling millions of US dollars, the Swiss authorities said.
Yes, yes, yes...
Fifa president Sepp Blatter, who is seeking a fifth term in charge of the organisation when he stands for re-election on Friday, is not one of the arrested.
Ah, crap.
