Michel Platini has sought to clarify the ongoing situation with FIFA president Sepp Blatter by writing to UEFA member associations.
UEFA president Michel Platini has written to UEFA's member associations after a payment made to him by Sepp Blatter formed part of criminal proceedings opened against the FIFA president.
The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG) opened proceedings against Blatter on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and misappropriation, with the FIFA president suspected of signing a contract with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), then led by former FIFA heavyweight Jack Warner, in 2005 that market experts claim handed World Cup television rights for the 2010 event in South Africa and the 2014 showpiece in Brazil to Warner for a fraction of their value.
