Blatter finally won the election. And his only rival was later to make a lobby for the United States and England, Jordanian Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein. However, only four days after the victory, Blattter said he wanted to leave. And a few months later, he was removed from his position for 90 days – the same platinum took the removal.
The essence of the charges against Blatter and Platini was that in 1998-2002, the famous French football player, the famous French football player in the past, received about 2 million Swiss Francs from FIFA.
Blatter later announced that these funds were carried out by Platini under the agreement of a gentleman ve and the French later claimed that he earned this money.

“These are precious people”

“I know both well. We worked with Blatter for many years – 27 years old. With Michel Platini – 15 years. Dear people, magnificent organizers, platinum star of world football. I followed the situation because these people close to me.
From the very beginning, it was clear that there was no corruption and fraud. Simply, sometimes they didn’t please someone.
Of course, I don’t know the essence. I’m not a lawyer, the details of all conflicts are not known to me. I know that the so -called FIFA has paid a little to Platini in illegal ways. Platini expresses the fact that he earns this money – And I can confirm this. I can’t say about how much, but it’s still with me. The Commission was appointed on the development of the international calendar and platinum led him on behalf of the Executive Committee. I know this clearly. And everything else – what quantities, how they were published, what were the problems … Only something is clear to me: these are worthy of people and leaders. It is sad to read how it was deported from one court to another. Thank God finally ended, Kol Koloskov said.
