ZURICH, Jumada I 16, 1437, Feb 25, 2016, SPA -- Swiss authorities have sent more documents, including an internal FIFA report on whether bribery helped countries win World Cup hosting rights, to U.S. investigators probing corruption in world soccer, the justice ministry said, according to Reuters. The report by U.S. lawyer Michael Garcia, a former top U.S. government prosecutor brought in by FIFA in 2012 to run its ethics committee's investigations, has never been made public. But Swiss authorities probing whether bribery played a role in awarding World Cups to Russia and Qatar were finding that the Garcia report was of little value to them, a source close to the investigations had said in June. The Swiss justice ministry sent the Garcia report to U.S. authorities on Jan. 14, a ministry spokesman said. -- SPA 21:00 LOCAL TIME 18:00 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
