Ben Affleck is set to produce a film about the Fifa corruption scandal, according to reports.A deal has been struck to bring upcoming book "House of Deceit" by Ken Bensinger, about the latest scandal that has rocked world football's governing body.
The book and film are said to be centred around Chuck Blazer, the former executive committee member who became an FBI informant, supplying them with information which helped lead to the indictment of 14 people for racketeering, fraud and money laundering.
The Batman actor is set to team up with friend and star of the Bourne series Matt Damon in producing the film, while Gavin O’Connor is expected to direct and Anthony Tambakis is to write the script.
Blazer began co-operating with the FBI in 2011 and is said to have recorded conversations with Fifa colleagues before admitting to charges of tax evasion, money laundering and bribery.
Bensinger announced on Thursday that he will begin writing his book about Fifa corruption, with reports stating it will be released in 2017.
