Zurich: FIFA's past corruption scandals returned to the fore on Friday as a new investigation was launched into the conduct of former president Sepp Blatter while Jeffrey Webb, the man once tipped to replace him, was banned for life.

The investigatory chamber of the FIFA ethics committee first said it had opened a file on Blatter and two of his former key lieutenants Jerome Valcke and Markus Kattner before the committee's adjudicatory chamber barred Webb from all football-related activity for life and fined him £770,000.
