New York (AFP) – Swiss authorities arrested several football officials in a fresh wave of dawn raids early Thursday in a dramatic widening of the FIFA corruption scandal, the New York Times reported.

More than a dozen individuals were expected to face charges following the latest arrests, many of which took place at the same luxury hotel in Zurich raided by authorities in May, the Times reported.

The Times, which broke news of the police raids earlier this year, said Swiss police entered the Baur au Lac hotel at around 6am local time on Thursday.
