Yeah, how is an alleged criminal allowed to use the proceeds of their (alleged) crimes to post bail?
That doesn't make any sense.

I told you all way back in this thread - they'll throw a couple of spacegoats out and carry on as if nothing has happened.
Michel Platini claimed on Tuesday night that he was given £1.3 million by Sepp Blatter nine years after finishing work for the Fifa president because the organisation could not afford to pay him in full at the time.
The Uefa president finally provided a reason for the delay in him receivingwhat is suspected to be a criminal payment four days after being quizzed by prosecutors about the money.
His attempt to justify his actions came as the attorney general of Switzerland, Michael Lauber, confirmed that he would not be afraid to raid the office of Platini, who he described as being “between a witness and an accused” in his probe into Fifa corruption.
Platini admitted not pursuing until Feb 2011 the money he said he was owed for work as a special adviser to Blatter – which he did from 1998 to 2002. That 2011 date was shortly before he ignored calls to challenge his former mentor for the presidency of Fifa and mandated Uefa members to vote for the incumbent. But he denied the timing had anything to do with stepping aside for Blatter, insisted he did not fear criminal prosecution or suspension by Fifa’s ethics committee because he had “done nothing wrong”, and declared he still intended to run for the presidency in February.
The Telegraph has learnt Platini was paid around £2 million in total by Fifa, only around a third of that sum coming while he was employed as a consultant.
The governing body at that time had forecast a deficit of 134 million Swiss francs (£91 million) between 1999 and 2002, only to report a surplus of 115 million francs (£78 million).
Platini said: “Mr Blatter informed me when I started my role as his adviser that it was not initially possible to pay the totality of my salary because of Fifa’s financial situation. The fact that this payment was made a few months before the Fifa presidential elections is irrelevant since I never had any plans of becoming a candidate.”

According to German paper Die Welt, Platini actually got paid between 300K and 500K Swiss Francs yearly when he was working for FIFA.

this is all that matters, without sponsors and they money they bring in FIFA is impotent, finally we might see the end of the most corrupt man in all of sport

In some ways it helps for Blatter to hold on. I'd be afraid some of the investigations would be shelved if he was gone, especially the Swiss one. I suspect they are only investigating because he has become such an embarrassment and that if he was gone they could go back to normal business.

Blatter, platini and Valcke all suspended. brick hitting fan official.
When did platini receive his 1+ million in deferred fees, was it around the same time as the vote for the 2018 and 2022 world chps?

It was just prior to Blatter's previous re-election campaign.
