The New York Times reports that authorities are confirming to them that Sepp Blatter is indeed the subject of a federal corruption investigation:
Mr. Blatter had for days tried to distance himself from the controversy, but several United States officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that in their efforts to build a case against Mr. Blatter they were hoping to win the cooperation of some of the FIFA officials now under indictment and work their way up the organization.
No one could have predicted.
