Sepp Blatter hugged his daughter Corinne after the announcement of the acquittal verdict for him and Platini, stating that he feels relieved by the decision, Reuters reports.
Joseph Blatter— It is a great relief for me, as this has lasted for 10 years. It was like a Sword of Damocles hanging over me. Now everything is over, and I can breathe freely, — said the 89-year-old former FIFA president to reporters.
It is recalled that prosecutors sought a 20-month prison sentence for Blatter and Platini, with the punishment postponed for two years.
