The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland has confirmed it has opened criminal proceedings against FIFA President Sepp Blatter.
The criminal proceedings opened are "on suspicion of criminal mismanagement as well as - alternatively - on suspicion of misappropriation."
FIFA cancelled a news conference at its FIFA headquarters at the last minute today, leaving a question mark over outgoing Blatter's reason for not facing the media.
Around 170 media had been accredited for the news conference in Zurich and were only told of the cancellation five minutes before it was due to start.
