Two "high-ranking" Fifa officials have been arrested in a dawn raid at a Swiss hotel on suspicion of accepting millions of dollars of bribes.
Police swooped on the luxury Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich, where several Fifa officials were arrested in May.
A two-day meeting of Fifa's executive committee is taking place in the city to vote on reforms.

"Fifa will continue to co-operate fully with the US investigation as permitted by Swiss law, as well as with the investigation being led by the Swiss Office of the Attorney General.
"Fifa will have no further comment on today's developments." Full story...
