The international football community continues to be shaken by the scandals - FIFA, which has not emerged from the abyss of corruption, has now lost some of its key leaders. FIFA President Sepp Blatter and the leader of the European Football Federations Union, Frenchman Michel Platini, have both been removed from their positions. This was announced on Thursday after lunch by the FIFA Ethics Committee. Both of the most important people in the football world have been suspended from their duties for 90 days, due to the ongoing corruption scandal. It is said that the Ethics Committee will not provide any comments until the ongoing law enforcement case in Switzerland concerning possible money laundering and corruption is finally closed. S.Blatter is accused of transferring 2 million Swiss francs to M.Platini for corrupt purposes. "I already knew yesterday that the FIFA Ethics Committee promised to temporarily suspend me from my duties," Platini said today. "So, it was already sought to damage my reputation from yesterday. For weeks now, I have been saying everywhere and always that I am willing to cooperate with law enforcement. Meanwhile, FIFA doesn't even budge. This morning, I submitted written statements announcing that I will run for the position of FIFA President. I hope that together we will overcome difficulties - overcome them with transparency and unity. All of this has always given strength to football."
