FOOTBALL: More trouble for Sepp Blatter

Sepp Blatter Ex-FIFA President

Expelled FIFA president Sepp Blatter and his previous chief lieutenants were under scrutiny Friday over unlawful rewards amounting to $80 million (71mn euros), FIFA's morals board of trustees said.

Football's decision body guaranteed in June that Blatter, Jerome Valcke and Markus Kattner had skimmed off the eight-figure entirety in pay rates and rewards in a planned exertion to enhance themselves between 2011-2015.

It said that its finding has been handed over to the Swiss police.

In an announcement, the investigatory council of FIFA's morals board of trustees declared it had opened official procedures against the three men who it accused with irreconcilable situation and debasement.

Blatter is serving a six-year restriction from football over morals infringement which relates with a suspicious $2 million he approved in 2011 to previous UEFA manager Michel Platini.

Similarly, Valcke was himself banned for a long time, lessened to 10 on request, over offense with respect to TV bargains and 2014 World Cup ticket deals.


Kattner, who quickly succeeded Valacke as Blatter's righthand man, was terminated in May over "breaches" including a large number of dollars.
