Police searched the headquarters of French soccer team Olympique Marseille yesterday and seized documents relating to Franck Ribery's transfer from Galatasaray to OM in 2005, a police source told Reuters today.

Marseille prosecutors launched an investigation last year after Ribery's agent filed a complaint against the player and Marseille for alleged irregularities related to Ribery's transfer from the Turkish side.

France forward Ribery left OM for Bayern Munich in 2007.
