The former boss of the Union of European Football Associations, Michel Platini, has lodged a
complaint against Switzerland with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), alleging his

authority. Platini is appealing against an eight-year ban from football, later reduced to four years, imposed by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association ethics committee because of financial wrongdoing.
