Interpol has today, Thursday, June 3rd placed six people, including two former FIFA officials and four corporate executives, on its most wanted list on corruption charges at the request of US authorities.

Those on the Interpol's list includes the former FIFA officials are ex-vice president Jack Warner and former FIFA executive committee member, Nicolás Leoz.

Meanwhile, FIFA President Sepp Blatter is being investigated by US authorities as part of their corruption inquiry into football's governing body, the New York Times (NYT) has reported.

Sep Blatter, who on Tuesday announced that he will be resigning from his position, has not been directly implicated in the parallel US and Swiss criminal investigations into FIFA, which were announced last week.

Unidentified US law enforcement officials, however, told the NYT that "they were hoping to win the cooperation of some of the FIFA officials now under indictment and work their way up the organisation" in a bid to build a case against Blatter.
Nine FIFA officials and five business executives were indicted by the US last Wednesday on corruption charges, with seven arrested in Zurich ahead of FIFA's annual congress on Friday.
