Who investigated the case before and the Americans want to have information from that investigation. “Among other things, the prosecutor investigating the allegations of Havelange directed at Blatter,” writes the FBI, according to the BBC.

The ISL case was legally closed in 2010, but in 2012 it became clear yet what happened in broad outline when the Swiss justice documents released about the case. Havelange and his former son in law Ricardo Teixeira were the largest grabbers, so pale. They had accepted millions in bribes, but bought off prosecution by paying huge fines.

In an American investigation into fraud at FIFA, which now thirty football bigwigs as suspects have been identified, Blatter has not been named as a suspect.
