Looming Controversy
In the background of UEFA’s business moves are the legal dealings of the governing body’s former president, Michel Platini. On Nov. 17, Platini filed a criminal complaint in France against FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Nov. 17 accusing him of “peddling influence.”
The case is reportedly about a payment to Platini of $2 million from 2011. Platini and former FIFA president Sepp Blatter will stand trial later this year in Switzerland.
