普京指责美起诉国际足联官员是“插手海外”

Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the United States on Thursday for its corruption indictment against officials from football\'s governing body, calling the case an attempt to spread its jurisdiction to other countries.

Mr. Putin said in televised comments that the U.S. is also trying to prevent the reelection of FIFA President Sepp Blatter.  That vote is due to happen Friday with Blatter facing one opponent in his bid to win a fifth term.

Russia is hosting the next edition of FIFA\'s premier event, the World Cup, in 2018.

Mr. Putin\'s comments follow a similar message from Russia\'s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday, which called the case an "illegal extraterritorial application of American law."

There was no immediate U.S. reaction to Mr. Putin\'s remarks.

The awarding of the 2018 games to Russia is part of a Swiss investigation into allegations of mismanagement and money laundering.

俄罗斯将主办2018年世界杯。

俄罗斯外交部星期三也表态称，美国起诉涉嫌腐败的国际足联官员是将“美国法律非法使用于海外”。

美国还没有对普京的态度做出直接回应。
