The FIFA Ethics Committe has requested a life ban for UEFA president Michel Platini, according to his lawyer.
Platini, along with FIFA president Sepp Blatter, is serving a 90-day
suspension for allegations of corruption, especially a “disloyal
payment” made to Platini by Blatter in 2011 for £1.35m.
Both men have denied any wrongdoing but had appeals rejected by FIFA last week.
But Platini's lawyer Thibaud d’Alès has now confirmed FIFA are
seeking to ban the Frenchman for life, which he describes as a “scandal”
and “excessive”.
