The Swiss prosecutor's office on Wednesday demanded a 20-month suspended jail sentence for Michel Platini and ex-president of FIFA Sepp Blatter, accusing them of fraud. Blatter and Platini are being tried over a two-million-Swiss-franc ($2 million) payment in 2011 to the former France captain, who by that time was in charge of European football's governing body UEFA. The prosecutor's demand is more lenient than he could have asked for -- a maximum of five years in prison if found guilty.

Sepp Blatter struck a "gentleman's agreement" with Michel Platini to pay him a million Swiss francs ($1.02 million) a year as an adviser, the former world football chief told their trial on Thursday. The French football legend had jokingly asked Blatter for a million, without specifying the currency, and the then-FIFA president agreed, with part of the money -- outside of the contract they signed -- to be paid "later", Switzerland's Federal Criminal Court heard.
Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini strongly reiterated their innocence as the two former football leaders were questioned on day two of their criminal trial on charges of defrauding Fifa.
