Reports Sepp Blatter has been provisionally suspended by the FIFA Ethics Committee and Michel Platini could follow.
A close friend of the FIFA President was quoted by Sky News and BBC Sport among others claiming it was a provisional 90-day suspension.
The Ethics Committee confirmed it is also discussing the position of UEFA President Platini, as both were questioned as part of a Swiss criminal investigation last week.
Platini received a payment of ?1.35m from FIFA in 2011.
Several major sponsors of FIFA publicly called for Blatter to resign, but he is resisting all efforts to leave his post.
