ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) - FIFA suspended Brazilian referee Edilson Pereira de Carvalho, who is suspected of taking bribes.
Soccer's governing body announced the suspension Tuesday, a day after the president of the Brazilian soccer federation assured fans the country's national soccer championship would continue.
The Brazilian federation has begun an investigation, and FIFA said it will "take all the necessary measures to resolve the matter." FIFA said Carvalho's suspension was "worldwide and until further notice."
