შვეიცარიის პროკურატურამ სისხლის სამართლის საქმე აღძრა იოზეფ ბლატერის წინააღმდეგ.
Swiss prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation against Sepp Blatter, the head of football's world governing body Fifa.
The attorney general's office said he was suspected of criminal mismanagement or misappropriation over a TV rights deal and of a "disloyal payment" to European football chief Michel Platini.
Mr Blatter was being questioned, and his office was searched, it added.
Fifa said it was co-operating with the investigation.
Mr Blatter, 79, has run Fifa since 1998 and has always denied any wrongdoing.
For his part, Mr Platini issued a statement on Friday evening, saying the money he received from Mr Blatter "relates to work which I carried out under a contract with Fifa" and he had clarified matters with the authorities.
