Former UEFA president Micheal Platini has indicated that he will not face any criminal charges over the matter that led to his ban from football.
The 62 year old Former France captain head of the football’s governing body until his ban for ethics breaches.
Platini was banned in 2015 over a 2m Swiss francs (£1.3m) “disloyal payment” from then Fifa president Sepp Blatter, who was also banned from football for his part in the matter.
The payment was made at a time when Blatter was seeking re-election as president.Both Platini and Blatter have denied the charges.
In September 2016, Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber said the Frenchman, a three-time European Footballer of the Year, was being treated as “in between a witness and an accused person”.
But on Saturday, Platini said officials had “just restored the truth by officially confirming that no charge has been at any time, or will be in the future, held against me in connection with my activities for Fifa.
“This official information from an authority of justice attests definitely of my innocence.”
He added the investigation had left his “honour and integrity tarnished” and vowed to “come back to football”.
