Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and former UEFA president Michel Platini have been acquitted of corruption by a Swiss court after a seven-year investigation.

Blatter was discovered to Platini number two million dollars in 2011 without an appropriate explanation. The incident at mid-2015, which led FIFA to open the investigation of two years of corruption for two years, resulting two men, two men who've ever held the most powerful organization in the world's illegal soccer team in eight years, were down by five years.

However, on July 8, a judge in Switzerland accepted Blatter's explanation, saying that $2 million to pay Platini during his time as an adviser to Blatter from 1998 to 2002 was justified. The judge also claimed that prosecutors' claim that the payment showed signs of corruption was unfounded. As a result, Blatter was found not guilty of bribery. Platini was also acquitted of corruption.

"I have always maintained my conscience in light, of course no one is perfect, but in my case, 44 five years of work in FIFA, deserves to bring the case to the highest court in Switzerland," Blatter.

Platini, who lost his status as a football legend to a fraud, expressed his delight at being exonerated after seven years of facing charges. He also thanked his supporters.

The Swiss Federal Prosecutors say they're gonna review the verdict by writing before they decide whether they're gonna appeal or not.
