Sepp Blatter says FIFA payments were 'clean and fair'

Banned former FIFA president Joseph Blatter denies claims he enriched himself, saying "everything is clean and fair".

Blatter has been banned from official football functions for six years by FIFA

Banned former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has denied allegations he enriched himself over the last five years at world football's governing body. "Everything is clean and fair as my lawyer, Richard Cullen, has said," Blatter told DPA news agency on Saturday.


His comments follow an internal investigation at FIFA which said Blatter and two other former FIFA top officials enriched themselves by more than 79 million Swiss francs ($80m) from 2011 to 2015.

Blatter's US lawyer Cullen had said later on Friday: "We look forward to showing FIFA that Mr Blatter's compensation payments were proper, fair and in line with the heads of major professional sports leagues
around the world."
