US Justice Department To Bring Corruption Charges Against Senior FIFA Officials

The U.S. Justice Department plans to announce corruption charges against senior officials at FIFA, the world's soccer governing body, law enforcement officials say. 

Up to 14 people are expected to be charged Wednesday in an indictment in federal court in Brooklyn, New York. FIFA has been at the center of corruption investigations for years. The U.S. probe accelerated after former U.S. prosecutor, Michael Garcia, who was hired by FIFA to do an internal investigation distanced himself from FIFA's claims of finding no corruption.
