Michel Platini and Sepp Blatter face a long ban from football, says FIFA spokesman

Michel Platini will “be suspended for several years”, FIFA Ethics Committee spokesman Andreas Bantel said on Friday.

UEFA chief Platini and FIFA president Sepp Blatter are both serving 90-day bans from football-related activities while an investigation is carried out into an alleged £1.3m payment made to the Frenchman by world football's governing body.

"Platini will certainly be suspended for several years," Bantel was quoted as saying by French website L'Equipe.

Blatter is due to standing down as FIFA president with an election to choose his successor on set for February 26.

"As for Blatter, there is no difference for him between a suspension of a few years and a life ban," Bantel added.

But Platini's lawyers have hit back at Bantel's comments, accusing FIFA's Ethics Committee of subjecting the Frenchman to a "sham procedure", adding the remarks "constituted a patent violation of the presumption of innocence".

"We have learned with anger and dismay the comments of Mr Andreas Bantel," Platini's lawyers said in a statement.

"He....has breached the presumption of innocence and demonstrates the political objectives being pursued by FIFA's Ethics Committee.

"They demonstrate also that the Ethics Committee is pursuing a political objective for whom contradictory arguments and the hearing that it fixed itself for 18 December will manifestly serve no purpose

"Mr Platini, for whom the sanction already seems to have been fixed (decided) by the FIFA Ethics Committee before his explanations have been heard, strongly denounces these practices which showcase the sham procedure of which he has been the object for weeks."

But Bantel insisted in his interview that "in this case, the question of corruption is well-founded".

"Suppose even the charge of corruption is not accepted by the chamber, there are many others offences such as a conflict of interest, mismanagement or falsification of accounts," said the official.

"All of this is sufficient to suspend Blatter and Platini for several years."

FIFA's Ethics Committee is split into an investigating arm and judging arm, with Bantel working for the latter. He was part of the team that investigated the claims against Platini and Blatter and recommended that they are given multi-year bans.

But it is the judging arm that will ultimately make a decision on Platini and Blatter's future and nobody from that part of FIFA's Ethics committee has said anything as yet.

Bantel has since told Sky Sports News HQ's chief news reporter Kaveh Solhekol that he stands by the comments he made to L'Equipe.

【now.com體育】國際體育仲裁法庭於周五宣佈維持柏天尼90日的停止參與足球事務禁令，然而這未必是柏天尼的終極「下場」，因為國際足協的道德委員會發言人明言，這位歐洲足協會長可能面臨數年禁制。

周五的裁決對有意爭取成為國際足協會長的柏天尼（Michel Platini）顯然是重大打擊，令這位歐洲足協會長將錯過來年2月的國際足協會長選舉。這還不止，法國《隊報》引述國際足協道德委員會發言人賓圖爾的言論：「柏天尼將肯定被禁制數年。」

球員時代曾效力祖雲達斯的柏天尼，涉嫌在2011年收受國際足協（FIFA）會長白禮達一筆達200萬美元的款項，上月，兩人被國際足協停職90天。

賓圖爾也談到白禮達：「至於白禮達，禁制數年與緋終身禁制，對他來說並沒分別。」


至於白禮達，禁制數年與緋終身禁制，對他來說並沒分別

2個爭咩呀，溝埋做瀨尿牛丸la



不過fifa d野，都係聽住先

Sepp Blatter & Michel Platini set to learn fate from Fifa ethics judge



By Richard Conway
BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini will learn if they are banned from football when Fifa's ethics judge delivers verdicts against the pair on Monday.
Fifa's ethics investigators want both president Blatter and his Uefa counterpart Platini to have life bans.
But speaking to Swiss newspaper Blick on Sunday, Blatter said the corruption charge against him had been dropped.
A spokesman for Hans Joachim Eckert, Fifa's ethics head, declined to comment.
Blatter, however, faces other charges, including mismanagement. Both he and Platini have denied any wrongdoing, and insist they have not breached Fifa's code of ethics.

The case against them revolves around a £1.3m "disloyal payment" made to Platini in 2011.
Both men say the payment was part of an agreement made for work carried out between 1998 and 2002 when Platini was employed as an adviser for Blatter.
That payment was not part of Platini's written contract - with Blatter saying recently the pair had a "gentleman's agreement" for an additional amount of money to be paid.
The timing of the payment - some nine years late - has also come under scrutiny.
That money was paid while Blatter was seeking support for a fourth term as president and facing a major challenge from Qatar's Mohamed Bin Hammam.
Platini subsequently endorsed Blatter for the presidency.
Eckert held personal hearings for the pair last week - which Platini boycotted.
The German judge is scheduled to announce his findings and any sanctions on Monday morning at 09:00 GMT.

In addition to corruption, both men are thought to face charges relating to:

conflict of interest
false accounting

and non co-operation with or criticism of the ethics committee
BBC Sport understands that sanctions previously handed down to other Fifa officials will likely provide a benchmark in the Blatter and Platini case.
In July, Harold Mayne-Nicholls, the official who headed the inspection team assessing bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup, was banned from all football-related activity for seven years for conflict of interest and breach of confidentiality.
Any guilty result will have major consequences for both Blatter and Platini.
Appeals against the decision can be made, but Platini's hopes of running as a candidate in the upcoming Fifa presidential election would suffer a potentially fatal blow.
He can only stand if cleared of the charges against him.
Meanwhile, Blatter would be denied his wish to leave Fifa on his own terms and would exit instead in disgrace.
He has expressed a wish to attend the 26 February congress in Zurich, where his successor will be appointed, in order to say farewell to the organization he has lead since 1998.
Any hope from that he would leave quietly if banned also looks forlorn. The 79-year-old has scheduled a press conference, symbolically at Fifa's former headquarters in Zurich, on Monday morning.
Blatter has expressed his belief in recent weeks that only Fifa's 209 member nations - and not the ethics committee - can remove him from office.

今次又咁果斷既。

Sepp Blatter will appeal 8-year #FIFA ban, his spokesman says http://bbc.in/1JnPV4q  

Blatter: "I will fight - i will fight for me and for Fifa. Suspended for 8 years? For what?"

Blatter confirms he will appeal to Fifa and then Court of Arbitration for Sport. Says he will also go to Swiss civil courts if necessary.

Blatter: "I am still the president!"

Blatter: "This committee has no right to go against the President of FIFA". He claims only the FIFA Congress can kick him out of office

賴死唔走

Rambling, deluded & defiant display from Blatter summed up perfectly in his final three words: "I'll be back."

算la你 !

【now.com體育】涉貪被罰禁止參與足球事務8年的白禮達，發表聲明證實會向國際足協的上訴委員會提出上訴。

國際足協道德委員會周一作出裁決，國際足協（FIFA）會長白禮達（Sepp Blatter）因違反道德守則及誠信，被判罰禁止參與足球事務8年。這位79歲老人家其後召開記者會，聲稱會奮戰到底，為自己脫罪，而他周二透過律師發出聲明，指自己會就判決上訴。

聲明中表示：「會長白禮達會就裁決向上訴委員會上訴，而昨天的判決並沒有指他曾貪污及行賄，所以白禮達熱切期望向上訴委員會表達他的爭論理據，而且其他的指控也不能成立，因為證據清楚顯示，他與柏天尼是在尊重和適當的關係下建立的。」

白禮達涉嫌在2011年向歐洲足協會長柏天尼支付了一筆達200萬美元的酬金，作為對方1998至2002年間為FIFA工作的酬勞，齊被道德委員會定罪。柏天尼亦在周二發言，諷刺道德委員會現追討4年前的公道，就猶如他們在這4年間沉睡了一樣。

「光明磊落」柏天尼：上訴只為求公義

【now.com體育】前歐洲足協會長柏天尼與前國際足協會長白禮達貪污罪成，被罰禁止涉足球壇8年，上訴聆訊周一展開，柏天尼強調沒有犯罪，更稱上訴是為了反抗不公義的裁決。

60歲的柏天尼（Michel Platini），去年底被判收受賄賂罪成，遭禁止參與足球事務8年及罰款80,000瑞士法郎，隨後提出上訴。上訴聆訊周一在國際足協位於瑞士蘇黎世的總部展開，柏天尼面對大量追訪的傳媒時，重申自己光明磊落：「我沒有犯過任何事，所以我無畏無懼；如果我做了虧心事，我早已經潛逃到西伯利亞避難。」

柏天尼聲稱，堅持上訴只為求公義：「我不是為了自己的前途，而是要對不公義作出反抗。」他更揚言，要揪出陷害自己的幕後黑手：「幕後有人在操控一切，而我會盡力找出黑手。」

至於下月滿80歲的白禮達，其上訴聆訊將會於周二展開。
