According to reports from the Guardian, UEFA President Michel Platini under is under a formal investigation by FIFA independent ethics committee and could be suspended in the coming days.
Should the Frenchman be provisionally suspended as the committee continues to review the issues raised by the Swiss attorney general, Platini would be automatically be ruled out for the FIFA Presidential elections. We had reported yesterday that FIFA President Sepp Blatter is facing criminal charges for financial corruption and was also questioned by the Swiss police.
The report from the Guardian states that Platini has cooperated with the Swiss investigators by answering questions on a two million Swiss francs transaction from Blatter.
