Fifa’s ethic committee are seeking to impose a lifetime ban on Uefa president Michel Platini, according to the lawyer of the 60-year-old Frenchman. Hans-Joachim Eckert, the German judge who chairs the adjudicatory chamber of Fifa’s ethics committee, has opened formal proceedings against both Platini and Fifa president Sepp Blatter after receiving the final report of an investigation into alleged serious breaches of their ethical code regarding a £1.3m payment made to the Uefa chief by Blatter in 2011.
