- I withdraw from the race for the presidency of FIFA. Time is not good for me. I do not have the means to fight on equal terms with other candidates. I was not given a chance to participate in this game. Bye, bye FIFA – Platini told AP.
December 21 the head of European football and FIFA President Joseph Blatter, have been suspended by FIFA’s Ethics Committee for eight years. They also imposed on penalties in the amount of 50 thousand. and 80 thousand. Swiss francs.
The Ethics Committee called the transfer of two million francs on account Platini in 2011 “conflict of interest”. Both activists maintain that this is the overdue payment for consultancy work, which the Frenchman performed for FIFA in the years 1998-2002. The presidents argue that entered into an oral agreement and deny that they have done something illegal.
Both were found guilty of misconduct, but not bribery. The Ethics Committee announced that it found no evidence that the payment made is corruption, but missed by her clarity and there was a conflict of interest. In her opinion, the payment was made “without legal basis” and violated the rules governing gifts and other benefits.
Blatter and Platini immediately promised to appeal the decision, among others, the Court of Arbitration for. Sport (CAS).
The suspension meant, however, that Mr Platini – in the event of maintaining this judgment – he could not run in elections for the head of FIFA, which are scheduled for February 26.
On behalf of UEFA will take part in them, as reported previously, the general secretary Gianni Infantino this organization.
