ZURICH — Sepp Blatter, the longtime president of FIFA, spent much of Friday underground. Starting at 9 a.m., Mr. Blatter and a few dozen other top executives were ensconced in an isolated conference room three levels below ground at FIFA’s headquarters here, discussing pressing issues like budgets, governance reforms and the scheduling of World Cup tournaments. All seemed normal and routine.
When Mr. Blatter surfaced in the early afternoon, however, he was stunned to find a group of officials from the office of Switzerland’s attorney general waiting for him. Over the next few hours, the officials interrogated Mr. Blatter at length. They searched his office, situated five floors above the bunker, on the top floor of the headquarters, and took boxes of documents, then informed Mr. Blatter that he was under criminal investigation.
