Switzerland's Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has opened criminal proceedings relating to the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, with 10 people set to be questioned regarding criminal mismanagement and money laundering during the bid process which saw the finals awarded to Russia and Qatar.Electronic data and documents from Fifa IT systems have been handed over to the OAG as part of what the Swiss authority has called a "collection of evidence on co-operative basis", while relevant bank documents have already been seized regarding potential illegal activities ahead of the December 2010 votes.An OAG statement explained:"In the Swiss criminal proceedings, opened by the OAG on March 10, 2015, it is suspected that irregularities occurred in the allocation of the Fifa World Cups of 2018 and 2022."The corresponding unjust enrichment is suspected to have taken place at least partly in Switzerland. Furthermore, the head office of the damaged party, Fifa, is in Switzerland. For these reasons, investigations are being carried out on the suspicion of criminal mismanagement (Article 158 under 1, Section 3 Swiss Criminal Code / SCC).
