ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland's attorney general has had his pay cut by 8% for a year after a watchdog found he repeatedly told falsehoods and broke a prosecutors' code of conduct in handling a soccer corruption probe.

In a disciplinary review of Michael Lauber's work, the oversight agency also concluded that Lauber acted disloyally and had tried to block the watchdog's investigation.
