The FBI is investigating Sepp Blatter’s role in a kickbacks scandal that involved his predecessor as FIFA president, Joao Havelange, the BBC reported Sunday.
The BBC said it will air a program Monday with evidence that indicates Blatter knew about millions of dollars in bribes being paid out to senior FIFA officials in the 1990s by sports marketing company ISL in return for television and marketing rights.
Havelange had to resign as honorary FIFA president over his role in the case, but Blatter has denied knowledge of the payments.
