Fifa Vice President Jeffrey Webb is among those arrested but Fifa President Sepp Blatter was not charged.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch saying all of those arrested had ″corrupted world soccer″.
The suspects were allegedly part of a racket which allowed them to line their own pocket with bribes worth some one－hundred－50 million U.S. dollars over a 20－year period.
