Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter and vice-president Michel Platini have both been found not guilty following their fraud trial in Switzerland.
The pair stood trial over a payment of 2m Swiss francs made by Blatter to Platini in 2011.
Both men had denied wrongdoing and said the transfer was belated payment for Platini’s advisory work for Fifa.
86-year-old Blatter and former Uefa president 67-year-old Platini, were banned from football in 2015 and indicted last November.
