Platini silent over current Fifa crisis
Uefa president avoids questions regarding Valcke suspension
UEFA president Michel Platini continued to stay silent over the current Fifa crisis yesterday, dodging questions about Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke’s suspension on Thursday.
Valcke is currently being investigated for allegations that he was implicated in a World Cup tickets scheme. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Valcke had also attempted to secure a pay-off of several million pounds a week before he was suspended.
