FIFA seek return of "tens of millions of dollars" in bribe money

While acknowledging for the first time that votes were bought in past World Cup hosting contests, Fifa is seeking to claim "tens of millions of dollars" in bribe money seized by US federal prosecutors.

Fifa submitted a 22-page claim to the US Attorney's Office in New York that seeks a big share in restitution from more than 190 million US dollars (£135m) already forfeited by soccer and marketing officials who pleaded guilty in the sprawling corruption case.
