Before Wednesday, the power of top officials in soccer’s international governing body seemed to observe few legal boundaries. That was the upshot of a 47-count indictment against nine FIFA officials—covered in more detail by my colleague David Graham—seven of whom were just arrested at a five-star hotel in Zurich. Meanwhile, the Swiss attorney general is leading a separate investigation into another alleged abuse of power: the suspected “criminal mismanagement and money laundering” surrounding the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, which were awarded to Russia and Qatar respectively.
