The New York Times names 14 individuals charged in connection to corruption allegations involving FIFA.

The New York Times has named the 14 individuals who have reportedly been charged in relation to the FBI's investigation into alleged corruption within football's world governing body FIFA.

The Swiss Federal Office of Justice confirmed this morning that six football officials have been arrested on suspicion of receiving or paying bribes totalling $100m (£64.8m) from the 1990s to the present day.

It is believed that more than a dozen plainclothes Swiss police officers raided the five-star Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich this morning to arrest a number of officials on allegations of bribery, corruption and racketeering.

Now, the New York Times has listed the names of those reportedly charged, and nine of them are football officials, including FIFA vice-president Jeffrey Webb.

The remaining eight individuals are named as Eugenio Figueredo, Jack Warner, Eduardo Li, Julio Rocha, Costas Takkas, Rafael Esquivel, Jose Maria Marin and Nicolas Leoz.

Sports marketing executives Alejandro Burzaco, Aaron Davidson, Hugo Jinkis and Mariano Jinkis have also reportedly been charged, while Jose Margulies is alleged to have acted as mediator during the exchange of illegal payments.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who is widely expected to be re-elected for a fifth term on Friday, is not believed to be among those arrested.
