Another 16 FIFA officials have been charged in a 92 count indictment released by the US Department of Justice today. It sounds like Attorney General Loretta Lynch is not going to let up on FIFA until they clean house. One of the defendants charged in May, Jeffrey Webb, has plead guilty to his involvement; you can bet that his plea agreement includes testifying against other officials.
The kicker to all this is that, even if jurisdiction isn't proved in all of these cases, there is a very strong chance of other countries (with jurisdiction) bringing their own charges against some of these defendants. These other jurisdictions will no doubt receive significant cooperation from the US Department of Justice, so any evidence gathered concerning acts outside of US jurisdiction will not go to waste.
+While, the US investigation primarily focuses on issues with CONCACAF and CONMEBOL, other (particularly European) countries have launched their own investigations while FIFA is reeling from its ongoing legal issues.
