Did Sepp Blatter & Michel Platini buy their way out of their fraud & corrption trial? Should both men have been sent to prison? On this episode of The Straight Shootin' View our co-host SSLJA talks about the outcome of a Swiss fraud & corruption trial of Sepp Blatter & Michel Platini, relating to a £1.7m 'disloyal payment' when Blatter & Platini were Presidents of FIFA & UEFA respectively. SSLJA passionately discusses how he feels about the outcome of the trial, where Platini & Blatter were aquitted by a swiss court and how strongly he feels that both men bought their way out of the allegations and how their actions should have been punished considering their roles in football at the time. SSLJA also talks about how Platini and Blatter have damaged the reputation of football and his amazement at how the Swiss prosecutors seemingly couldn't find enough to charge both men for anything, and SSLJA discusses Blatter & Platini's comments & quotes after their aquittals.
