Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini have won in court for a second time after facing trial over financial wrongdoing at Fifa.
The pair have now won both times against Swiss federal prosecutors after the latest verdict saw them acquitted on charges of fraud, forgery, mismanagement and misappropriation.
Previously among the most powerful figures in football, the former Fifa president and former Uefa president’s charges concerned more than $2m (£1.55m) of Fifa money in 2011.
And Blatter, now aged 89, was largely motionless when seen listening to the verdict of three cantonal (state) judges acting as a federal criminal appeals court.
The attorney general’s office in Switzerland had challenged a first acquittal in July 2022 and asked for sentences of 20 months, suspended for two years.
