Sent on the same basis as Sepp Blatter before the Swiss courts for several offenses, including “
the swindle
”, Michel Platini announces that he is contesting this decision.
Accused of "
fraud, subsidiarily of participation in breach of trust, even more subsidiarily of participation in unfair management, as an accomplice, as well as of forgery in the titles
", the former president of UEFA contested this decision via a press release, relayed by L'Equipe.
"I learned through the press of the decision of the Swiss public prosecutor to send me to trial with the former president of FIFA, Mr. Sepp Blatter,
writes the Lorrain.
These methods are an extension of the MPC's relentlessness to want to unduly implicate me in a case in which my entire good faith had been recognized. I fully challenge these unfounded and unfair accusations. I regret that the MPC - whose collusion with FIFA was established by the preventive action of the former Attorney General of the Swiss Confederation and the current FIFA president - did not have the decency to classify the procedure concerning me, after six years of judicial abuses unworthy of the rule of law. I follow this by being perfectly confident and serene about theresulting from this procedure. "
