Not everyone will stay loyal, especially if they are actually extradited and then interviewed, charged by the FBI Someone will crack, and I would assume someone has kept a little bit of evidence against such a day.
No doubt Fifa have an army of intermediates and agents who have colluded in moving the money around. I hope as many of them as possible are taken down too.

Fingers crossed though, as they say.

I can't help but feel they would have gone for him if they could. The idiots they have arrested seem to have done everything in USD which inevitably pass through banks in the US meaning at the very least they can get them on laundering. Other currencies are available.fblm said:

My brother was implicated heavily in a huge fraud some years ago. He was charged, bailed etc the works. Full trial system. He was effectively a co-defendant.
£00Ks on fees, QC and full junior legal team. Massive bills.
It was on the first day of trial at Southwark that his Boss and the owner of the company 'copped a plea' in return for a shorter sentence. At that point, my brother was formally 'let off' all the charges. From memory, they were dismissed but held on file....
My brother's Senior, Junior Barrister said that was just if they ever needed to use them in the future. If my brother had sung like the proverbial canary (he was stupid and an unwitting, but compliant idiot and a mere pawn) then he would never have made trial apparently.
It appears that going after the minions really is a tried and tested way to the top! Truly frightening and an awful experience to live through with him.
The Boss got 7 years from memory - plus a HUGE confiscation order. Let's hope it all works out as well for Blatter eh?

google FATCA
Its a truly nasty act
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
If there is even and hint the money has passed through the hands of US citizen or a close non US citizen family member, the IRS who are now part of the investigation can chase it, and most counties have been strong armed by the USA to sign up to FATCA.

FIFA press conference called for 5pm UK time. Apparently only an hours notice given to press, no info about what its for.
According to @richard_conway on twitter when he arrived staff were still rushing around trying to set the room up.
Will be Blatter, Domenico Scala (Domenico Scala is Fifa's head of audit and compliance), Walter De Gregorio (director of comms and public affairs)
