💨 Abstract

Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter and French soccer legend Michel Platini will appear before a Swiss court on Tuesday for a corruption case that ended their careers in football. The case concerns a 2 million Swiss franc payment Blatter authorized for Platini in 2011, which they claimed was a consultancy fee. Both men were initially acquitted of fraud, but Swiss federal prosecutors have appealed the decision.
