Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter and vice-president Michel Platini have been acquitted on charges of defrauding world football governing body FIFA
Swiss prosecutor Thomas Hildbrand had requested a 20-month suspended sentence for each at the end of the trial at the Federal Criminal Court of Switzerland in Bellinzona.
"I kept saying it: my fight is a fight against injustice. I won a first game. In this case, there are culprits who did not appear during this trial. Let them count on me, we will meet again. Because I will not give up and I will go all the way in my quest for truth." Blatter announced his plan to resign early as FIFA president, in June 2015, in the fallout from a sprawling American corruption investigation - ending his 17-year reign.The fallout ended Platini's campaign to succeed his former mentor and saw him removed as president of UEFA, the governing body of European football.
