Blatter & Platini

[bfcpete]

Both charged with fraud, bribery and corruption by a Swiss court. Relates to a payment of over £2m paid to Platini by Blatter in 2015. They claimed it was for retrospective services as advisor to the President. The prosecutor alleges it was essentially a bung to Platini by Blatter to get him to persaude European nations to vote for Blatter in the upcoming Presidential elections and that it was completely unauthorised and they had colluded to disguise the real purpose. Nasty people. Hope they get their just desserts.

Whilst he has lived off the ill gotten gains of his presidency we will watch next season fall in to disarray with the winter world cup in Qatar.

It's criminal that we have not hosted a world cup for 60yrs whilst the likes of Germany has twice and Mexico twice wuth a further shared one coming up...
