Members of the media take photos of FIFA President Sepp Blatter as he talks to International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, standing, during the opening ceremony of the FIFA Congress on Thursday, May 28. The soccer world was rocked a day earlier when a host of FIFA officials were arrested in Zurich, Switzerland. The U.S. Justice Department unsealed a 47-count indictment, detailing charges against the officials that include racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy. The most serious are the racketeering charges, which allege that the officials turned soccer "into a criminal enterprise," according to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Blatter was not one of the officials arrested.
