For fraud. Will probably surprise nobody:
https://www.politico.eu/article/football-fifa-uefa-sepp-blatter-michel-platini-indicted-fraud/
Gist of it seems to be that Platini demanded back dated pay in 2011 for allegedly as a Fifa Presidential Advisor to Blatter between 98 and 2002. Blatter ponied up where there may not have been a legal basis to do so but it did tie in with his reelection campaign where he needed European support. One of a few Fifa investigations so will be interesting to see what the Swiss courts decide.

I know this is a Pars forum but I'm surprised no one has commented on this. Those that run the game have a huge responsibility but sadly, some use/have used their positions to get rich by employing fraudulent and corrupt practices.
I'd be very surprised if either Blatter or Platini spend even a single day behind bars, even though they fully deserve to be locked away. Both men were very well rewarded in their jobs and certainly didn't need to misappropriate (steal) any extra cash. Pure greed.
Not your average Sunday League player.

Blatter - You could expect that sort of behaviour.
Platini - The man who wore his France top under his suit jacket at the `98 WCF,
just like one of the fans. What a piece of merde, football hasn`t got a chance with scumbags like these two about.
