Two FIFA V-Ps held as bribery suspects

FIFA vice-presidents Juan Angel Napout and Alfredo Hawit were arrestedon Thursday as part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s widening bribery case that has rocked soccer’s scandal-hit governing body. Both men have opposed their extradition to the United States at Zurich police hearings, Switzerland’s justice ministry said in a statement. Hours earlier, Swiss police made pre-dawn raids at the luxury Baur au Lac hotel in downtown Zurich, the same place where arrests on May 27 sparked the FIFA corruption crisis.
