Authorities searched the offices of France's soccer federation and seized documents to help a Swiss investigation into former FIFA president Sepp Blatter hydro flask 20 oz coffee pink sale , Switzerland's prosecutor said Wednesday.
The operation, carried out a day earlier, was linked to a 2 million Swiss franc ($2 million) payment to France's Michel Platini at the heart of proceedings against Blatter, Switzerland's Office of the Attorney General (OAG) said.
The 79-year-old former head of world soccer's scandal-plagued governing body said he was surprised by the search by members of the French financial prosecutor's office.
"The payment to Mr Platini was made by FIFA to a private account in Switzerland and not through the French Football Federation or UEFA," Blatter said in a statement issued by his adviser.
Swiss prosecutors hydro flask 18 oz wide mouth black sale , who requested the Paris search, said in September they had opened a criminal investigation into Blatter on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and misappropriation of funds, allegations he dismissed.
Blatter and suspended UEFA president Platini were both banned from soccer for six years over the 2011 FIFA payment to Platini, made with Blatter's approval for work done a decade earlier. Both have denied any wrong-doing.
"Documents were seized in connection with the suspected payment of 2 million Swiss francs that is inter alia the subject of the proceedings," the Swiss prosecutor said in a statement.
The French financial prosecutor's office confirmed that the search took place hydro flask 18 oz standard mouth blue sale , saying documents useful to the Swiss investigation were taken.
Platini's status in the Swiss proceedings remains unchanged, the OAG said. In September, it described Platini as a "person asked to provide information."
More than 40 individuals and entities, including many former FIFA officials, have also been charged with corruption-related offenses in the US hydro flask 21 oz standard mouth pink sale , amid the worst corruption crisis in FIFA's history.
Swiss authorities are also investigating the awarding of the hosting rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar, respectively. Germany's hosting of the 2006 World Cup is also under scrutiny over a 6.7 million euro ($7.35 million) payment to FIFA.
The digital economy’s big annual trade show, CES, suffered a brief, disruptive plunge into darkness on Wednesday because of a power outage that the event’s organisers blamed on heavy rain.
The irony of a partial blackout at a trade show dedicated to the latest electronic technology did not escape social or industry media. “Lights out at CES 2018. Does anyone have a battery pack?” wrote Endgadget hydro flask 12 oz wide mouth pink sale , a technology news site.
Large swaths of the sprawling Las Vegas convention centre lost power at about 11:15am local time, shutting down brightly lit company booths and darkening rooms used by hundreds of journalists covering CES. Emergency lights stayed on, and backup batteries kept wireless internet connections functioning.
CES organisers said power was restored within minutes to the centre’s South Hall, where many gaming companies had exhibits. Other areas took longer. Power was fully restored at 2:10pm, CES said in a statement.
A preliminary assessment found that moisture from heavy rains on Tuesday had caused a “flashover” in one of the convention centre’s transformers hydro flask 64 oz wide mouth white sale , it said.
Power and rain are not the only challenges CES has faced this year. A central theme of this year’s show was Smart Cities, and automakers and other companies have used elaborate virtual reality displays of tree-lined streets with smooth flowing traffic to promote technology and investments aimed at relieving urban congestion.
On Las Vegas’ physical streets, traffic crawled on Tuesday as thousands of CES attendees shuttled between hotels and conference venues in heavy rain. Long lines formed at the convention centre for cabs. Ride hailing companies such as Uber and Lyft could not pick up passengers at the convention centre, but operated from parking lots a block or more away.(Agencies)
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence departed for a trip to Japan and South Korea on Monday.
Pence is leading a U.S. delegation to the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Officials said on Monday that North Korea's ceremonial leader Kim Yong Nam is traveling to South Korea this week hydro flask 64 oz wide mouth black sale , making him the most senior North Korean official to enter the country since the Korean War ended with a truce in 1953, and raising hopes about potential inter-Korean talks.
Hundreds of North Korean officials, athletes, cheerleaders and artistic performers are also expected to attend.
Pence is bringing a guest to the Olympics: Fred Warmbier, the father of Otto Warmbier hydro flask 64 oz wide mouth blue sale , an American student who was imprisoned in North Korea for 17 months and died in June 2017 from lack of oxygen and blood to the brain.
On Friday Pence will also visit a memorial for 46 South Korean sailors killed in 2010 in the sinking of a warship that Seoul blamed on a North Korean torpedo attack.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Monday "we'll have to see what happens" when asked whether Pence or other officials would meet North Koreans at the Winter Olympic Games.
No such meetings are planned.
"The vice president most certainly is not seeking a meeting with the North Koreans," a White House official said.
Pence will hold a briefing with U.S. military officials about ballistic missile defense systems in Alaska before proceeding to Japan, where he lands on Tuesday. There he will meet with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and visit troops at Yokota Air Base before departing for Seoul on Thursday, where he will meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
After the memorial visit, Pence heads to Pyeongchang for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and remains at the Games until Saturday.
