Former UEFA President Michel Platini has commenced criminal and civil litigation against FIFA President Gianni Infantino and other officials regarding the circumstances surrounding his exclusion from the FIFA presidency.

前歐足聯主席米歇爾．普拉蒂尼已針對其被排除在FIFA主席競選之外的相關情況，對FIFA主席基安尼．因凡蒂諾及其他官員提起刑事與民事訴訟。

The legal actions, filed within the French and Swiss jurisdictions, center on allegations of malicious prosecution and influence peddling. Mr. Platini contends that a coordinated effort, primarily spearheaded by Mr. Infantino, was executed to obstruct his succession of Sepp Blatter in 2016. This strategy allegedly utilized an ethics probe into a 2011 payment of two million Swiss francs—which Mr. Platini characterizes as deferred compensation for advisory services rendered between 1998 and 2002—to disqualify him from candidacy.

這些在法國與瑞士管轄區內提出的法律行動，重點在於惡意檢控與權錢交易的指控。普拉蒂尼先生主張，由因凡蒂諾先生主導的一場協同行動，旨在阻礙他在2016年接替塞普．布拉特。

Historically, these events resulted in an initial eight-year suspension by the FIFA ethics committee, subsequently reduced to four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. However, the judicial trajectory shifted following the acquittal of both Mr. Platini and Mr. Blatter by the Swiss federal criminal court in 2022, and a subsequent exoneration by the appeals court in March 2025. Consequently, Mr. Platini is now seeking financial restitution from FIFA and criminal accountability for Mr. Infantino, as well as former officials Marco Villiger and Domenico Scala.

在歷史上，這些事件導致FIFA倫理委員會最初對其處以八年禁賽，隨後被體育仲裁法庭減至四年。然而，隨著2022年瑞士聯邦刑事法院宣判普拉蒂尼先生與布拉特先生無罪，以及2025年3月上訴法院隨後的免責判定，司法走勢發生了轉變。因此，普拉蒂尼先生目前正尋求FIFA的財務賠償，並要求因凡蒂諾先生以及前官員馬科．維利格與多梅尼科．斯卡拉承擔刑事責任。

Concurrent with these legal developments, the governing body is managing geopolitical volatility preceding the World Cup. Tensions between the United States and Iran, exacerbated by airstrikes resulting in the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, led to threats of Iranian withdrawal and discussions regarding the relocation of fixtures to Mexico. While the U.S. administration provided a qualified endorsement of Iranian participation, restrictive measures have been implemented, including the revocation of tickets for Iranian supporters and the denial of entry for Somalian official Omar Artan.

與這些法律進展同時，該管理機構正處理世界盃前夕的地緣政治波動。美國與伊朗之間的緊張局勢，因導致哈梅內伊師長死亡的空襲而加劇，導致伊朗威脅退出，並討論將賽事遷至墨西哥。儘管美國政府對伊朗參與表達了有條件的認可，但仍實施了限制措施，包括撤銷伊朗支持者的入場券，以及拒絕索馬利亞官員奧馬爾．阿坦入境。

Mr. Platini's pursuit of legal redress coincides with the commencement of the World Cup, amid ongoing geopolitical instability and administrative scrutiny of FIFA's leadership.

普拉蒂尼先生尋求法律救濟之時，正值世界盃開幕，而當時地緣政治仍不穩定，且FIFA的領導層面臨行政審查。
