The Swiss authorities started investigating in 2015 while FIFA's ethics investigators branded the payment 'disloyal' and banned Michel Platini for six years.

Ex-UEFA chief Michel Platini, flanked by his lawyer William Bourdon, talks to the media as he leaves the Central Office for Combating Corruption and Financial and Tax Crimes.to return two million Swiss francs he received during Sepp Blatter's reign at world football's governing body.

Platini declined to comment but his lawyer, Vincent Solari, called the developement"harassment" of his client. The Frenchman subsequently appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport , which reduced his suspension to four years while ruling that it"was not convinced by the legitimacy of the payment, which was only recognised by Mr. Platini and Mr. Blatter.""It is clear that FIFA's claims are totally unfounded, as also attested by the fact that the agreement concerning this payment has never been invalidated by FIFA," said the lawyer.
