ZURICH (Reuters) - Authorities searched the offices of France's football federation and seized documents to help a Swiss investigation into former FIFA President Sepp Blatter, Switzerland's prosecutor said on Wednesday.

The operation, carried out a day earlier, was linked to a 2 million Swiss franc (£1.4 million) payment to France's Michel Platini at the heart of proceedings against Blatter, Switzerland's Office of the Attorney General (OAG) said.
