ZURICH - Six soccer officials, including some high-ranking members of world governing-body FIFA, were arrested by Swiss police on Wednesday and detained pending extradition to the United States.


The arrests were made shortly after a dawn at a Zurich hotel where FIFA officials are staying ahead of this week's FIFA presidential election.


The Swiss Federal Office of Justice (FOJ) released a statement saying the six officials nike air force 1 bianche e oro , who were not formally named, were suspected by U.S. investigators of having received or paid bribes totaling millions of dollars.


The FOJ also confirmed that FIFA president Sepp Blatter was not among those arrested.


""The US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York is investigating these individuals on suspicion of the acceptance of bribes and kickbacks between the early 1990s and the present day,"" the statement said.


""The bribery suspects -- representatives of sports media and sports promotion firms -- are alleged to have been involved in schemes to make payments to the soccer functionaries -- delegates of FIFA and other functionaries of FIFA sub-organizations -- totaling more than US$100 million.""


The New York Times, citing anonymous law enforcement officials, said the U.S. federal charges include racketeering nike air force 1 rosse e nere , money laundering and wire fraud and span two decades of misconduct in soccer's world governing body.


More than 10 officials were expected to be indicted, but not all were in Zurich, the newspaper reported.


Most of the officials are in Switzerland for the FIFA Congress, where Blatter faces a challenge from Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein in a presidential election on Friday when the Swiss administrator will attempt to secure a fifth term at the helm.


FIFA did not make any immediate comment on the arrests.


The New York Times said more than a dozen plain-clothed Swiss law enforcement officials arrived at Zurich's Baur au Lac hotel early on Wednesday, took keys from the registration desk and headed up to the rooms.

CONCACAF FOCUS


One FIFA official was led by the authorities from his room to a side-door exit of the hotel, the Times said, adding that officials from the body's powerful executive committee were being targeted.


""We're struck by just how long this went on for and how it touched nearly every part of what FIFA did nike air force 1 bianche e nere ,"" the Times quoted an unnamed law enforcement official as saying.


""It just seemed to permeate every element of the federation and was just their way of doing business. It seems like this corruption was institutionalized.""


The Times said much of the enquiry was focused on the CONCACAF region, which governs soccer in the North America, Central America and the Caribbean.


The confederation's former boss Jack Warner was regularly dogged by accusations of corruption before he resigned in 2011, putting an end to investigations of the Trinidadian.


Prosecutors expected to announce the case at a news conference at the Brooklyn U.S. attorney's office, which is leading the investigation on Wednesday nike air force 1 bianche basse , the Wall Street Journal said in a separate report.


U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey and Internal Revenue Service criminal chief Richard Weber were expected to appear in Brooklyn to announce the case, the WSJ said.


The reports offer a fresh blow to the credibility of FIFA, which has suffered repeated accusations of wrongdoing over the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, which were awarded to Russia and Qatar respectively.


FIFA appointed an independent investigator to look into the allegations and though a summary of his report found some wrongdoing on the part of the Qatari and Russian bid committees nike air force 1 basse rosse , FIFA's ethics judge concluded it was not enough to question the entire process.


The investigator, former attorney Michael Garcia, subsequently resigned from his role in December after criticising the handling of his report.


Damian Collins, the British MP who founded the reform group New FIFA Now, said the news was hugely significant for FIFA and could have a massive impact on the governing body.


""The chickens are finally coming home to roost and this sounds like a hugely significant development for FIFA nike air force 1 nere basse ,"" he told Reuters by telephone.


""It proves that Sepp Blatter's promises over the last few years to look into corruption at FIFA have not materialised and because he has totally failed to do this, it has been left to an outside law enforcement agency to do the job and take action.""

Many diet plans for women abound on the internet and all of these try to take advantage of certain gender-related quirks that dictate the way we metabolize food. For starters, men and women have different daily calorie requirements because of the difference in muscle mass and muscle density. Not knowing little facts like this can easily lead to women following diet meals for men instead of diet plans for women and as a result gaining weight instead of losing it. Due vigilance and caution has to be taken when looking at any diet plan and a little research needs to be done to validate the merits of the diet plan before somebody decides to pick it up.


This diet plan for women is based on a 1,800 calorie diet and about 300 to 400 calories short of the recommended dietary consumption for a middle-aged woman of average build. Like many diet plans for women that ensure a safe margin of calorie deficit as a defense against overeating or a means for weight loss and followed to the letter, this one will help women to maintain weight if not loss extra pou.
