**Blatter and Platini suspended by FIFA Ethics Committee amid ongoing investigation**
Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini have been officially suspended for 90 days by FIFA’s Ethics Committee, as part of the ongoing proceedings led by the Swiss Ministry of Justice.
However, both men have expressed their determination to contest the decision. Blatter and his legal team issued a statement condemning the suspension, claiming procedural errors by the Ethics Committee. They argue that Blatter was not given a proper hearing, as required by the procedural code.
“The suspension will have to be lifted if the investigation, which lasted only two weeks, does not provide evidence. Sepp Blatter is eager to prove that he has nothing to reproach himself for,” the statement read.
The suspensions mark a significant development in FIFA’s ongoing efforts to address allegations of corruption and misconduct, but the saga is far from over as Blatter and Platini prepare to challenge the Ethics Committee’s ruling.
