In particular, it would pay illicitly 2 million Swiss francs (1.83 million euro) to the current UEFA president Michel Platini for work not actually performed when he was vice president of FIFA. Also on Friday also French was heard, but as a person informed of the facts. Le Roi – favorite FIFA elections of February 26 – would have provided investigators evidence against Blatter. He then stated: “I have been asked to provide information useful for investigations: I clarified everything and the rest willing to cooperate with the authorities at any time.” As to the charge that is paid, he denies reconstructions and stresses: “I was paid for the work I did.” The prosecutor also Thursday had already gained access to e-mail Jérôme Valcke, FIFA general secretary at the center of the allegations, suspended on 17 September for a series of allegations that are the focus of the investigation of Blatter.
The important initiative against the Swiss leader is the development of big corruption scandal that swept the Fifa when 14 officers were arrested on various charges, including money laundering.

On May 27 the US and Swiss authorities had announced the indaginsul world football, in particular regarding the assignment of 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar. On Friday, the new twist: “The Ministry of the Attorney General (MPC) has initiated criminal proceedings be borne by the President of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) on suspicion of fraudulent management and, alternatively, embezzlement,” said the statement of attorney. Specifically, “12 September 2005 Blatter has signed a contract with the Federation Caribbean (led by Jack Warner, his friend and vice president, now under arrest on 2 December could be extradited to the United States from Trinidad ed ) in unfavorable conditions for Fifa. On the other hand there is the suspicion that by applying this agreement, Blatter has breached its duties of management and acted against the interests of FIFA, “he continues the statement of the prosecutor stating that the charges against Blatter was adopted Thursday . This was the transfer at a lower price due to the TV rights of the 2010 World Cup and 2014 “thus acting against the interests of FIFA.” This would be a transfer of rights for 600,000 US dollars (536,000 Euros) to Warner, who then fired at one of its sub-company (the JDI) recorded the Caiman, and sold them to the issuer Jamaican SportsMax for a figure, he announced the same TV, “between 18 and 20 million dollars” (of € 16,000,000 to 17.8000000). In addition, the 79 years old Swiss executive is suspected of “having paid fraudulently 2,000,000 Swiss francs to Michel Platini, president of UEFA, at the expense of FIFA, payment made in February 2011 and is believed to have been made for work done between January 1999 and June 2002 ‘. For his part Friday night the former midfielder has issued a statement in which he explains that he was paid “for the work I have done contractually to FIFA,” and to be “pleased to have been able to clear this with the authorities.” From the point of view of FIFA, the President may be suspended, as has already happened to Valcke, pending elections of 26 February.
