Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini will face formal proceedings after a report by the independent Ethics Committee's investigatory chamber.
FIFA has opened formal proceedings against suspended president Sepp Blatter and his UEFA counterpart Michel Platini after a report by the organization's independent Ethics Committee's investigatory chamber.
Blatter and Platini were handed 90-day suspensions by the Ethics Committee in October in relation to an alleged payment made by FIFA to the former France captain in 2011.
The Ethics Committee last week rejected respective appeals against the bans from both men, who deny any wrongdoing, before submitting its final reports Saturday.
