French soccer body's offices searched, documents seized in Blatter investigation

Authorities searched the offices of France's soccer federation and seized documents in support of a Swiss investigation into former FIFA President Sepp Blatter, Switzerland's Office of the Attorney General (OAG) said on Wednesday. "Documents were seized in connection with the suspected payment of 2 million Swiss francs ($2 million) that is inter alia the subject of the proceedings," the OAG said in a statement, adding that the search was a response to a Swiss request for mutual legal assistance.
