Platini and Balater acquitted in a corruption case

Yesterday, the former Swiss Court of Appeals acquitted the former President of the European Football Association (Wiviva), Michel Platini, and former President of the International Federation (FIFA), Swiss Joseph Seib Blatter, again in a corruption case.
