Batu69 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 FIFA president Sepp Blatter and his possible successor Michel Platini have been provisionally suspended for 90 days by the global soccer body's ethics committee, after they were named in a Swiss corruption case.The committee also handed a similar suspension to FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke, who had already been put on leave by the soccer body.It also banned former FIFA vice-president Chung Mong-joon for six years and fined him about $140,000.The suspensions mean Cameroon's Issa Hayatou and Spain's Angel Maria Villar are in line to take over as interim heads of soccer's world and European governing bodies.FIFA's statutes say that the most senior vice-president will stand-in for the president of the organisation. That position is currently held by Hayatou, president of Africa's football confederation (CAF).Spanish Football Federation president Villar is positioned to take over from Platini as he is the European governing body's highest-ranking vice-president.Villar has been widely reported to be facing a FIFA ethics investigation himself related to Spain's joint bid with Portugal for the 2018 World Cup. FIFA's ethics committee is not allowed to confirm or deny the existence of any investigations.In 2011, Hayatou was reprimanded by the International Olympics Committee's ethics commission after he confirmed to them that he was paid by FIFA's former marketing agency International Sport and Leisure in 1995.The IOC said such an action constituted a conflict of interest. Hayatou denied any personal gain or wrongdoing.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
