Criminal proceedings against FIFA president Gianni Infantino have been launched in Switzerland.
A special prosecutor were appointed this month to investigate dealings between Swiss Attorney General Michael Lauber and the head of world football.
Mr Lauber offered to resign last week after a court concluded he covered up a meeting with Mr Infantino and lied to supervisors while his office probed corruption surrounding soccer's governing body.
But the authority overseeing Switzerland's federal prosecutors announced on Thursday that special prosecutor Stefan Keller - who also requested permission to begin proceedings against the attorney general - had found indications of criminal conduct related to the meeting.

Always thought he was a dodgy bugger up to eyes in it. Let's see if that's the case !
