A small tackle with Michel Platini's two unstuck feet for breakfast with croissant and coffee? We take. Gianni Infantino, boss of Fifa and target of the former number 10 of the Blues, is undoubtedly less happy than us. And because the Switzerland took first in the Swiss magazine L'Illustré . This interview is published on the day when the judicial committee of the Swiss Federal Assembly has to decide on the opening of a dismissal procedure of the prosecutor Lauber, weakened by his informal meetings with Mr. Infantino.
Gianni Infantino and Swiss Attorney General Michael Lauber "Believe They're Untouchable and Above the Law," says Platoche, sidelined from the race for FIFA president after being suspended by the international federation for a controversial payment received from the former world football boss Sepp Blatter.
According to recent revelations, Infantino and Lauber have had a series of informal meetings, a legal vagueness which raises the question of a potential collusion between Fifa and the justice system.
“I think Lauber is aware that he has crossed the red line. Infantino, in my opinion, should hand over his mandate ”, judge Michel Platini. "But the problem is that he became president of Fifa through a skillful combination of circumstances, as an opportunist, without having any particular legitimacy. He will therefore do everything to hang on to his post. ”
Conspiracy theory
"The fact that I was the victim of a plot is obvious to me," repeats the former UEFA president, whose four-year suspension came to an end last October. "In 2016, the presidency of Fifa should have returned to me by a very large majority, everyone knows," he says again. "It seems that Gianni Infantino cleverly combined, at the beginning of summer 2015, to ensure that I was excluded from the race for the presidency of Fifa, by agreements of circumstance passed behind the scenes."
