Joe Molloy

There were a group of people who decided to kill me.

So without getting too much into nitty gritty, three years ago, he was acquitted.

It's like, I don't know, does this pass the smell test?

Basically, he was acquitted of the charge that in 2011,

Sepp Blatter, FIFA, Sepp Blatter gave him one and a half million euro in 2011.

And they were like.

What's going on here?

You know, and so the argument was this was for consulting work he did for Blatter between 1999 and 2002.

And prosecutors argued there was no written contract at the time for this.

There's no contract for this work worth one and a half million.

Now, Blatter and Platini say not as a verbal agreement at the time, you know, gentleman's agreement.

They say that the reason he wasn't paid for the work that he did in 99 to 02 until 2011 is that FIFA's finances weren't in a good position and Platini was happy to wait.

And so, you know,

raised eyebrows a little bit.

The judge in the case three years ago said it is credible.

Look, they could have had a legal, they could have had a verbal agreement.

And, you know, the fee of 1.5 million across three years, that tallies with what FIFA would pay for consulting.

So they were acquitted.

And Totini says, see, nothing to see here.

But I guess there's an air of suspicion, grubbiness.
