Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and ex-European Football Association (UEFA) president Michel Platini have been charged with fraud over unlawfully arranging a payment of $2.94 million. 

The Office of the Attorney-General of Switzerland has said the two men were indicted following a six-year investigation into the payment Blatter authorised from FIFA to Platini in 2011.

Blatter and Patini were both banned from football in 2016 for the payment, however both men maintain their innocence as the investigation continues.
