BELLINZONA, SWITZERLAND - Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was on Friday acquitted by a Swiss court of corruption over the allocation of World Cup TV rights, while former Fifa number two Jerome Valcke was handed a suspended sentence for a secondary charge.

They also requested 30 months for Greek businessman Dinos Deris - with partial suspension in all three cases. Deris was found not guilty on Friday on a charge of"private corruption". "It restores my faith in the rule of law and in due process, after four years of baseless allegations, fictitious charges and constant smears of my reputation - all of which have been proven to be completely and wholly unsubstantiated."
