A statement from football's world governing body says it is "in relation to allegations related to his mandate while President of Caf."

It added that "Fifa is unaware of the details surrounding this investigation and is therefore not in a position to make any comment on it specifically.

"Fifa is asking the French authorities for any information that might be relevant to investigations taking place within its Ethics Committee."

Faced with a crisis that threatens to overwhelm the governing body of soccer on the African continent, FIFA is taking the unprecedented step of sending its top administrator, its secretary general Fatma Samoura, to run the stricken organization.

The Cairo-based Confederation of African Football, soccer’s largest regional confederation, has lurched from disaster to disaster in the past few months, and is on the verge of a total meltdown just as the region’s biggest national team competition — the Africa Cup of Nations — prepares to begin in Egypt. On the eve of the tournament, senior officials gathered for an emergency meeting, where they agreed to being led by Samoura, who will hold the title of FIFA High Commissioner for Africa when she assumes the new post later this summer.

Someone had to do something there. The kinds of issues they've had involving CAF and even their cups have been ridiculous.
