Former FBI deputy general counsel, Lisa Osofsky says the FBI is not playing games following arrests of FIFA officials.

Shortly after it's President, Sepp Blatter, won a fifth term following rival Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan’s withdrawal from the race, Lisa told Mark Chapman that the US Justice Department has strong evidence against those who were arrested on Wednesday on bribery and racketeering charges.

Speaking on Friday's 5 live sport she said that there has been an insider who had worn a wire for the FBI and believed that this evidence would stand up in a court of law and eventually implement lots of others that aren't already named in the current indictment.

Ososky, who is now a Barrister, said the entire case is about ‘lying, cheating and stealing’ and that the people who are alleged to have carried out these crimes ‘had their hands out where they shouldn't belong’.

When asked whether the FBI want to ‘get’ the head of an organisation, Lisa informed that the way that they would do that is by starting with ‘the low guy’ before working up and that it is a prosecutors ‘dream come true’ to get the top guy.
