Michel Platini's legal team believe a UEFA document shows "nothing was hidden" in the alleged payment that led to his FIFA suspension.
The alleged "disloyal payment" made by FIFA to Michel Platini that resulted in the UEFA president and FIFA chief Sepp Blatter being suspended was detailed in a 1998 UEFA Executive Committee report, according to reports by French newspaper Journal du Dimanche.
Platini and Blatter are due to attend personal hearings with FIFA's ethics judge from Dec.16 in relation to the alleged payment of two million Swiss francs, received by the former France captain in 2011 for work he claims to have carried out for world football's governing body between 1999 and 2002.
