Spain's Angel Maria Villar Llona, Michel D'Hooghe from Belgium and Worawi Makudi from Thailand are among the names being looked at by Garcia for possible ethics code breaches, according to sources close to football's world governing body.
D’Hooghe - who denies any wrongdoing - has told Sky Sports News HQ’s chief news reporter Bryan Swanson that he “simply had to clarify some well-known cases” with Garcia and his son’s job at a private Qatari hospital was “purely a medical decision without any involvement of myself and without any relation with the Qatar 2022 bid”.
Beckenbauer - a former FIFA ExCo member - is also under investigation by American attorney Garcia along with Harold Mayne-Nicholls from Chile.
Mayne-Nicholls headed the inspection team which compiled reports into the countries bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Garcia and German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert, the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of FIFA's ethics committee, released a joint statement last week confirming a number of individuals were under investigation.
At the same time, they revealed Garcia's report would be passed on in full to Domenico Scala, head of FIFA's Audit and Compliance committee.
Swiss businessman Scala will determine how much of the report is passed on to the FIFA Executive Committee, although with three of its members now being investigated, it remains to be seen how much information can be forwarded.
FIFA - who has also lodged a separate criminal complaint with the Swiss attorney general - told Sky Sports News HQ: “We cannot confirm or deny any such information, as matters related to the 2018/2022 enquiry are solely handled by the investigatory chamber of the independent FIFA Ethics Committee. As such we have passed on your enquiry to the FIFA Ethics Committee.”
Earlier this month Eckert cleared Russia and Qatar to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, saying rule breaches by the bidding countries were "of very limited scope".
Garcia responded by notifying FIFA that he intended to lodge an appeal against the decision due to "numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts".
Calls for the Garcia report to be published in full have continued from senior figures in England, including FA chairman Greg Dyke and, most recently, Conservative MP Damian Collins in the House of Commons on Thursday.
Collins told the Commons the chaos at FIFA surrounding the bidding process shows it is not fit to govern and said Eckert's report was a 'whitewash.'
