As a witness, the former FIFA President Joseph Blatter was already questioned. As reported by the "Russian Service of the BBC," during the preliminary investigation, prosecutors must determine whether there are signs of corruption in the actions of FIFA at the time of the decision.

At the same time, Blatter was interrogated a week ago, on April 20, in Switzerland.

At the same time, the Russian Organizing Committee of the 2018 World Cup announced that they do not know about the actions of the French prosecutor's office.

According to the head of the organizing committee "Russia-2018" Alexei Sorokin, he has no fears in this regard.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the former president of UEFA Michel Platini resigned after the scandal. In December last year, Platini and former head of FIFA Josef Blatter were suspended from football for six years. This decision of the FIFA Ethics Committee was made because of a $ 2 million transfer in the name of Platini, who made Blatter in 2011.
