Swiss authorities aren’t done looking for evidence against Sepp Blatter
He’s out of soccer, likely for good, but he hasn’t escaped criminal charges yet.


A new FIFA president has been elected and Sepp Blatter has been handed a six-year ban from soccer, likely long enough to keep the 79-year-old from ever having much to do with the sport ever again. But Swiss investigators are still digging into his criminal case, and searched the French FA this week. They were looking for documents connected to a potentially illegal suspected payment from Blatter to Michel Platini.
Blatter’s gotten off easy so far, but he’s not safe yet.
