Heads on a Blatter? US Indictments Target Subordinates of FIFA President, For Now

The Dept. of Justice announced the arrest in Zurich early Wednesday of seven of the 14 FIFA officials and corporate executives it charged with racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies in connection with “a 24-year scheme to enrich themselves through the corruption of international soccer.”

But the name of Sepp Blatter–Swiss football administrator and president since 1998 of the Federation Internationale de Football Association–was absent from the list of the high ranking officials who were indicted.
