Authorities reportedly arrested more than a dozen people as part of its investigation of FIFA corruption on Wednesday, The New York Times reported.

And the man who reportedly helped the FBI build its case is a former top-ranking FIFA executive from New York City. The New York Daily News published an investigation about former FIFA Executive Committee member Chuck Blazer's involvement in the corruption case in November, and BuzzFeed wrote about the "swindling suburban soccer dad" in June.

Blazer was "one of the most powerful men in world soccer" before he left FIFA in 2013 amid an ethics investigation, according to SB Nation, which noted that Blazer likely cooperated with the FBI's FIFA investigation in order to avoid jail time.

Blazer has pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, income tax evasion and failure to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR), according to a US Department of Justice statement released on Wednesday. He forfeited nearly $2 million and agreed to pay another undetermined amount when he is sentenced.

It's currently unclear whether Blazer made a deal with investigators and what his sentence will be.

My understanding is that Blazer is terminally ill.
