FIFA prosecutor Michael Garcia wants his corruption report published

ZURICH -- FIFA prosecutor Michael Garcia says he wants his investigative report into alleged World Cup corruption to be published.

Garcia previously expressed frustration with FIFA confidentiality rules which keep his work secret.

The American lawyer spoke out Wednesday after FIFA ethics judge Joachim Eckert issued a statement giving Garcia full responsibility for opening cases against officials under investigation.

In a sign of tension between Garcia and Eckert, Garcia said "I believe it is now necessary for the FIFA Executive Committee to authorize the appropriate publication of the report."

FIFA vice presidents Jeffrey Webb, Prince Ali of Jordan and Jim Boyce also want Garcia's reports released.

Garcia says "publication would be consistent with [their] statements."

FIFA's ruling board starts a two-day meeting Thursday.
