A Council of Europe committee on Wednesday called for FIFA president Sepp Blatter to be investigated over his uncontested victory in last year's FIFA presidential election. A committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) says further light should be shone on Blatter's election success, which came after his sole rival, Mohamed bin Hammam, dropped out of the race due to bribery allegations.
Bin Hamman was later banned from the sport for life, after being found guilty of trying to buy votes from Caribbean football officials by FIFA's Ethics Committee. The committee went on to call for FIFA to "publish in full any judicial and other documents relating to the case of Swiss sports promoter ISL (International Sports and Leisure).
