More like 3.3 million and as one of them who is actually living here I can assure you this country is dirty as gently caress. They only want him here because they can use him to attack Fox Sports and Full Play and declare some TV contracts null so a local businessman can try and get them.

Who are his superiors? Wasn't he the head man or vice head man of South America?

Good on USA for cleaning up South America but its looking increasingly likely that Blatter and his power base in Africa and Asia avoided using US banks for their dodgy deals and are untouchable.

They want Platini, Valcke, Blatter, etc.

I'll bet you most of them weren't smart enough to not go through American banks, but who knows? Most of these guys are terrible criminals who never actually had to hide the things they did very hard because of the government positions they hold.

Fifa have confirmed that both Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini have been banned from all football-related activities for 8 years with immediate effect.

In a statement, Fifa confirmed that "The proceedings against Mr Blatter primarily related to a payment of CHF 2,000,000 (£1.34m) transferred in February 2011 from FIFA to Mr Platini.

"Mr Blatter, in his position as President of FIFA, authorised the payment to Mr Platini which had no legal basis in the written agreement signed between both officials on 25 August 1999.

"Neither in his written statement nor in his personal hearing was Mr Blatter able to demonstrate another legal basis for this payment. His assertion of an oral agreement was determined as not convincing and was rejected by the chamber."

Fifa can still expand that ban from "8 years" to "for life" fyi, i guess Blatter goes to FIFA HQ to secure his revenge against Platini, if nothing else.

Ah so it was all legal because even though Platini left FIFA in 2002, he had an "oral contract" with FIFA that was never officially terminated. So he was paid nine years after he left for work he wasn't doing. Seems legit

This is a very good press conference

quote:

“You can identify me as an optimist. We thought we had convinced the panel about the situation, the payment between the Fifa president and Michel Platini of an ongoing contract that was never terminated. We thought we were in the clear. We are in a so-called gentleman’s agreement. This was made in 98 just after the World Cup when Playini approached me and said he would like to work for Fifa. he said ‘I am a very expensive man’ . I said that’s Ok we cannot pay you now, we will pay you later. What astonished me is that they [Fifa ethics committee] deny the existence of this agreement.”
