Blatter and Michel Platini for eight
years after finding them guilty of
abusing their positions over a $2
million payment that was made to the
suspended head of European football.
Both were “immediately” banned from all
football activity. Blatter, FIFA’s president
since 1998, was fined 50,000 Swiss francs
($50,000). Platini was fined 80,000 Swiss
francs.
A statement by the court said both
showed “abusive execution” of their
powers. In the case of Platini, the court
said he “failed to act with complete
credibility and integrity, showing
unawareness of the importance of his
duties.”
