Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter will meet with a Swiss prosecutor for a third straight day, following a second meeting Tuesday in a probe surrounding a suspect payment to Michel Platini.

Former world football chief Blatter is being investigated over a two million Swiss franc FIFA payment in 2011 to Platini, who was then in charge of European football’s governing body UEFA.

“Mr. Blatter is happy, but not with the prosecutors’ questions. It’s a bit ridiculous. The suspicions about him are a little absurd,” Renggli told AFP. He spent two months in hospital in December and January after undergoing heart surgery, and in March was convalescing in a clinic. “The criminal proceedings against Joseph Blatter are now being conducted on suspicion of fraud, breach of trust and unfaithful business management,” the OAG said in a statement ahead of Monday’s hearing.
