		</div><p>Fresh arrests and charges are likely as a result of the FBI investigations into the FIFA corruption scandal, US attorney general Loretta Lynch has announced.</p>
<p>Lynch, speaking in Zurich, said new charges and arrests against “individuals and entities” were anticipated.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber confirmed that an investigation is taking place into FIFA’s sale of World Cup television rights to disgraced former official Jack Warner for a fraction of their true worth.</p>
<p>Lauber also revealed that assets including flats in the Swiss Alps and western Switzerland had been seized by his investigators, on suspicion of being used for money-laundering purposes, and that 121 different bank accounts have been brought to the attention of the investigating task force.</p>
<p>In May, the US justice department announced indictments against 18 people on football-related corruption charges – four have pleaded guilty to charges.</p>
<p>Lynch told a news conference: “Separate and apart from the pending indictment our investigation has expanded since May. The scope of our investigation is not limited and is following the evidence where it leads.</p>
<p>“We do anticipate pursuing additional changes against individuals and entities.”</p>
<p>Asked if Blatter was under investigation or if might interfere with his travel plans – the FIFA president did not travel to the women’s World Cup in Canada in June following the arrests in May – Lynch added: “I’m not going to comment on individuals and I am not able to give you information about Mr Blatter’s travel plans.”</p>
