Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini were both banned by FIFA in 2015FIFA has been advised to take legal proceedings to recover an "undue payment" from its former president Sepp Blatter to ex-vice president Michel Platini. The payment from Blatter to Platini was approved on January 18, 2011 and transferred to Platini from FIFA on February 1 of the same year. FIFA investigated the matter and established that the payment had no basis in contract and was to be considered an undue payment under its ethics rules. In September 2016 Platini's suspension was further reduced to four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport and his fine reduced from 80,000 Swiss francs to 60,000 Swiss francs (£46,314). The Swiss Federal Tribunal confirmed the decision of CAS in June 2017 and ordered Platini to pay a further 22,000 Swiss francs in legal expenses to FIFA.
