FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, is adamant he will continue in his role at the world football governing body.
The 79-year-old is facing prosecution, for allegedly making a “disloyal payment” of two million Swiss francs – around £1.3m – to UEFA president, Michel Platini which was “at the expense of FIFA.”
Blatter is also being investigated about a TV deal with Jack Warner.
Despite calls for the embattled Swiss to step down, he has made it clear he is going nowhere.
He reiterated that, “he had done nothing illegal or improper,” after criminal proceedings were opened against him last Friday by the Swiss Attorney General.
