Prosecutor scorns Blatter-Platini $2m payment, calling for 20-month suspended jail terms
March 5 – The Swiss public prosecutor in the Sepp Blatter/Michel Platini fraud trial has requested suspended sentences of 20 months for the former FIFA and UEFA chiefs for allegedly cheating FIFA out of CHF2 million.
Prosecutor Thomas Hildbrand opted not to call for prison sentences for 88-year-old Blatter (pictured) and 69-year-old Platini but rejected their insistence they were innocent of any wrongdoing
The pair were acquitted in July 2022 in a criminal action brought by Swiss judicial authorities that gripped world football politics.
