Sepp Blatter says he will not stand down as Fifa President because of the criminal proceedings opened against him by Swiss investigators. Swiss Blatter is suspected of signing a contract that was unfavourable to Fifa and making a disloyal payment to Uefa President Michel Platini. Blatter, who had already said he will stand down in February 2016, claimed he had done nothing illegal or improper. Platini has written a letter to Uefa members denying any wrongdoing.
