Platini's lawyer believes his case is an attempt to prevent Michel from becoming FIFA president

The hearing of the corruption case involving Michel Platini and Sepp Blatter as the main figures continues in Switzerland. The lawyer of the former UEFA president is weaving the most vivid conspiracy theories about what lies behind this case.

Details: According to Platini's lawyer, Dominique Nellen, the Frenchman had significant chances of becoming FIFA president in 2015, but this did not happen precisely because of this case.

Quote: "Platini was the most likely successor to Blatter in 2015, but someone wanted to remove him from the path. It seems that at every step, attempts are made to prevent Platini from becoming FIFA president," Nellen is quoted by Reuters.

Reminder: The verdict in this case will be announced tomorrow, March 25. The Swiss prosecutor's office is demanding a suspended sentence of nearly two years for both Platini and Blatter.
