Former UEFA president Michel Platini has filed a criminal complaint in France against current FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The filing is also directed against five former Swiss judicial officials and football officials. Platini claims that a conspiracy existed against him aimed at preventing him from running for FIFA president in 2016. sport.cz - hokej ↗
At the time of the fall of longtime FIFA chief Sepp Blatter, the French official was considered the favorite to succeed him. However, his ambitions were halted by subsequent disciplinary and legal cases connected to the football federation. According to available information, Platini now claims that the steps taken against him were not merely the result of a routine investigation, but part of a coordinated effort. idnes.cz ↗
The criminal complaint is a further continuation of the long-running dispute between the former head of European football and FIFA's leadership. Czech sources report that this is now the third time Platini has filed a similar complaint against Infantino. The new filing concerns not only the FIFA president himself but also figures from the Swiss judicial and football environment. eurofotbal.cz ↗
Further developments will depend on how the French authorities assess Platini's filing and whether they initiate concrete procedural steps. The case returns to the circumstances surrounding the change of leadership in world football after the Sepp Blatter era and once again raises the question of what role FIFA officials and the Swiss judiciary played in that power shift at the time.
