In this file photo taken on June 01, 2011 UEFA president Michel Platini attends the 61st FIFA congress at the Zurich Hallenstadion in Zurich. AFPMichel Platini was quizzed by a Swiss prosecutor on Monday in a probe investigating a two-million-Swiss-franc payment that the former European football chief received from FIFA in 2011.
“The questions went very well for my client,” Platini’s lawyer Dominic Nellen told AFP after the meeting, which was held behind closed doors. Platini and Blatter each face interrogation from the public prosecutor as part of the proceedings, which were opened in 2015. Nellen said he expected a further meeting with Hildbrand, at which the former UEFA chief will face further questions.
FIFA deemed the sum a “disloyal payment” and suspended Blatter and Platini from all football-related activities, which prevented the former UEFA chief from running for the FIFA presidency in 2016.
