Former FIFA boss Blatter says money risks ruining football

FIFA’s Ethics Committee banned Blatter, who led FIFA for 17 years, from “all football activities” in 2015.

Switzerland’s attorney general is still investigating cases of suspected corruption involving FIFA, which is based in Zurich, dating back to 2014 and Blatter’s presidency. The 83-year-old added his belief that viewer numbers are falling this season in the French, Italian, English, Spanish and German leagues.Blatter has told various media that he plans to take legal action against his successor Gianni Infantino over damage done to his reputation.

Blatter said FIFA bodies signed off on all payments made to him, including a bonus of 10 million Swiss francs he received for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
