Seven of the 14 arrested in Zurich, Switzerland - president Sepp Blatter is not among them
One of those held is Jeffrey Webb - Fifa's vice-president
The corruption case involves alleged bribes worth more than $150m since the early 1990s
US attorney general claims executives accepted bribes to secure the 2010 World Cup in South Africa
Six of the seven suspects held in Zurich are contesting their extradition to the US
Separately, Swiss prosecutors launch a criminal case into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids
We are bringing our live coverage of the two investigations into corruption at Fifa to an end now - thanks for joining us. You can continue to get the latest on the story here.

"The entity will wait for its conclusion responsibly without any prejudgment of guilt or innocence. CBF's new administration, that started on 16 April, reinforces its commitment to truth and transparency."
Argentine football star Diego Armando Maradona says he would personally "kick the asses" of corrupt officials in FIFA.
He supports the bid of Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein to become the next head of the football governing body.
"As soon as we arrive in FIFA, the good people will stay. But to those who are bad, I am personally going to kick their asses," he said during an interview on Argentine radio.

Earlier, he issued a statement saying he was innocent of any charges.
The Swiss Attorney General "won't take any excuses" if it decides to question Sepp Blatter, according to its head of communications Andre Marty.
He told the BBC: "For the time being, there is no need to talk to Mr Blatter as he is a resident in Switzerland, so we could basically invite him to speak to the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland at any given time."
Russia has accused the US of acting illegally in its indictment of Fifa officials.
It was "another case of illegal exterritorial use of US law", according to Russian Foreign Ministry, who urged Washington to "stop trying to set itself up as a judge far outside its borders".

Dear World:
We don't even like soccer and we're still going to clean up FIFA for you.
Love,
America.
More reaction from around the world. Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff has said the corruption investigation is "very important".
"I don't think it will be damaging to Brazil, and Brazilian football can only benefit from it. If they have to investigate Brazil's bid for the World Cup, they should investigate all the bids."
Image source, AFPFormer England striker Gary Lineker told BBC 5 Live he wants a strong international response to allegations.
"The major federations of world football need to get together, boycott Fifa - the English, the Germans, the Spanish, the Italians, the Americans, Brazilians, major forces in world football, (should) come together and say 'listen, we've had enough of this. It's time we did something differently, more transparent, more honest that the game deserves'."
More on the allegations that Fifa executives accepted bribes to help secure the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The US indictment alleges that senior government officials in South Africa arranged a $10m bribe to ensure that members of Fifa's executive committee backed South Africa, rather than Morocco.
The BBC's Andrew Harding in Johannesburg says these are "devastating allegations for this country. Nelson Mandela had been instrumental in championing South Africa's successful bid".
"So far, no government officials here have commented, but the sports ministry said it was preparing a statement. The indictment describes a separate incident, when, it's alleged, a senior South African official travelled to Paris to hand over cash in $10,000 stacks - in a hotel room, to an unnamed man co-conspirator working for the former Fifa Vice-President Jack Warner."
Curatica in Bucharest, Romania emails: In the last 20/30 years, football has become a business. And a dirty business. Corruption spreads like weeds and it is impossible to cure , unless one pulls all the grass.
Many think Americans do not care about football - or soccer, as they call it. Here are some stories from recent years that say otherwise:
Six of the seven Fifa officials arrested in Zurich are opposing their extradition to the US.
A Swiss justice ministry statement says, external: "For those individuals who are contesting extradition, the (justice ministry) will now ask the US to submit formal extradition requests within the 40-day period provided for in the bilateral extradition treaty."
The ministry did not mention any names.
Over on the BBC News Google+ page, external, Ian Birthwright says: "If anything comes of this it'll take years for meaningful change to take effect on all levels. Especially the very top."

Since early morning, journalists have been camped outside of Concacaf in Miami, Florida, where investigators have executed a search warrant.
Here is part of the indictment document in the case of USA vs Webb. The full document is over 160 pages., external
Following the latest accusations, South Africa's sports ministry is expected to issue a statement on the issue, the BBC's Andrew Harding reports.
Samuel, Phoenix, Arizona, USA, emails: Can someone explain to me why taxpayer dollars are being spent on investigating FIFA? I can think of several better uses of taxpayer money. Education. Social assistance programs. Medical care. Alternative energy. Community programs. Environmental programs. Sigh.
Hans W. Koerfges in Königswinter, Germany emails: Mr Blatter said he knew nothing about what his officials did, nothing about bribes and money laundering. If that is the truth, Mr Blatter is unacceptable for his presidency because he has no reins in his hands. Every soccer enthusiast should wipe him out of office.
Jaimie Fuller, founder of the New Fifa Now, external organisation, tells BBC World TV that the planned Fifa election on Friday should not go ahead and President Sepp Blatter should step down immediately.
Mr Fuller adds: "We're dealing with the organisation that is corrupt to its core."
