FIFA wants payback after admitting bribes

Requesting millions in restitution

FIFA on Wednesday acknowledged that past World Cups were awarded based on bribes, but the organization wants US prosecutors to give it "tens of millions of dollars" seized from former officials of world soccer's governing body who skimmed cash from broadcasting rights.

FIFA submitted a 22-page claim to the US Attorney's Office in New York that seeks a big share in restitution from more than $190 million already forfeited by soccer and marketing officials who pleaded guilty in a sprawling corruption case.
