Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini have cleared the charges of fraud in Switzerland | Football news
Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and France’s France legend Michel Platini were cleaned from fraud for the second time.
Former FIFA President -II former UEFA President is charged with fraud, forgery, poor management and embezzlement of more than $ 2 million (£ 1.5m) for FIFA Money in 2011.
The Office of the State Attorney in Switzerland provoked the first acquittal in July 2022 and requested a 20 -month penalty, suspended for two years.
Blatter, 89, and Platini (69), once among the most powerful figures in football, consistently denied injustice.
They were cleaned of fraud in the extraordinary appeal of the Swiss Criminal Court in the City of Muttenz, near Basel.
Blatter approved FIFA, who paid 2 million Swiss francs (now $ 2.21 million) to the French football big Platini in February 2011 for additional and without contracting salary, working as a presidential advisor from 1998-2002.
The Swiss federal investigation appeared in September 2015 because Platini was a strong favorite for her one -time mentor in the upcoming elections.
The probe began events that would ultimately lead to the end of the career of the most powerful football men.
Although trials have twice cleaned their names with federal courts, Blatter’s reputation is likely to always be tied to the leading FIFA during corruption crises that have removed a number of high football officials around the world.
Platini, one of the biggest football players and later Blatter’s past football policy, never received FIFA Presidency, which he often called his fate.
