Senior Fifa officials are understood to be considering all options if the case against Blatter is discontinued, potentially including suing the attorney general’s office for failing to prosecute. One police report states Warner and Concacaf had “already been granted a financial advantage in May 1998” a month before Blatter, previously the Fifa general-secretary, was elected president for the first time. It states $3.78m was due back to Fifa under the terms of the agreement but the CFU never paid it and Fifa has never received it. Blatter has not been charged by US authorities and maintains his innocence of any wrongdoing. He did not respond to an email from the Guardian about the contents of the Swiss police reports.
