            Turkeys not voting for Christmas shocker



            Paris St-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi acquitted in Fifa media rights investigation.

            Paris St-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been cleared of corruption by a Swiss appeals court.

            Ex-Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke was also cleared of the same charge but in a separate case was found guilty of accepting bribes and forging documents.

            Valcke, 61, was given an 11-month prison sentence and a fine of 20,000 Swiss francs (£17,000), both suspended.

            Swiss prosecutors were appealing a ruling from October 2020 by the Swiss Federal Criminal Court.

            The charges related to World Cup TV rights at a time when Valcke was general secretary of football's world governing body.

            Al-Khelaifi, also chairman of the European Club Association and a member of Uefa's executive committee, was acquitted of inciting Valcke to commit aggravated criminal mismanagement and the appeals court backed that decision in a written judgement published on Friday.

                  I suspect that will be a useful distinction for FIFA to make when if/when the Qatar WC is investigated
                  The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                    Bound to be a whitewash

                    A verdict in the fraud trial of former Fifa president Sepp Blatter and vice-president Michel Platini is expected on Friday.

                    Swiss prosecutors claimed that a 2011 payment of 2m Swiss francs (£1.6m) made by Blatter to ex-Uefa president Platini was unlawful.

                    Both men denied wrongdoing and say the transfer was belated payment for Platini's advisory work for Fifa.

                    They were banned from football in 2015 and indicted last November.

                    The 11-day trial, which took place at the Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona, Switzerland, concluded on 22 June.j

                      £1.6m can’t be swept under the carpet that easily hopefully.

                        Maybe I don't understand the ins and outs of the case but from what I read they are claiming that this was payments for advisory work. If that was the case there should be a contract where this was agreed. If that's the case then there is no case to answer. If there isn't then to me they seem bang to rights. Blatter can't just decide to retrospectively give his mate a load of money for work that he may or may not have done if there was no contract in place.
