Ex-Fifa bosses shared $80m over five years

Former Fifa officials Sepp Blatter, Jerome Valcke, and Markus Kattner awarded themselves pay rises and World Cup bonuses totalling $80m over five years, according to lawyers for the football organisation.

Fifa said the contracted payments appear to break Swiss law, and evidence will be given to American and Swiss federal prosecutors, who are investigating corruption implicating the world football body.

Fifa revealed details of the contracts of former president Mr Blatter, fired former secretary general Mr Valcke, and fired finance director Mr Kattner one day after Swiss police raided Fifa to seize evidence. The raid included searches in the office of Mr Kattner, who was fired last week.
