Millions of Swiss francs in bank accounts belonging to world soccer's governing body Fifa have been frozen, according to the Swiss justice ministry.
US officials believe"corruption money" may have been transited through the frozen accounts, the ministry said.
Between 50m and 100m Swiss francs ($50.1m-100.2m; £34m-£67m) has been frozen, media reports say.
Meanwhile, suspended Fifa President Sepp Blatter is appearing before the organisation's ethics committee.
Mr Blatter, who is due to depart from Fifa on 26 February when his successor will be elected, arrived at the governing body's headquarters in Zurich in a chauffeur-driven car accompanied by one of his lawyers.
