Blatter and Platini / Swiss payment case

A disputed FIFA payment, two criminal acquittals, and separate ethics questions.

What the record says

The Swiss prosecution over a 2011 CHF 2m FIFA payment ended with final criminal acquittals for Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini. Other ethics and civil matters require their own records and must not be conflated with this outcome.

Read this carefully. Swiss appeals court confirmed both acquittals in March 2025; federal prosecutors declined further appeal.
