The acquittal of former football leaders, Michel Platini and Sepp Blatter, is now final, after the Swiss Public Prosecutor's Office decided not to appeal. The two were accused of illegally obtaining a payment of two million Swiss francs, and the verdict had significant political implications, preventing Platini from becoming FIFA president. He claimed that the accusations were an attempt to block his career, stating that he is 'too old' to return to leadership.
