Definitively acquitted by Swiss justice in August after ten years of proceedings in the fraud case which precipitated his fall, the former number 10 of the France team filed a complaint at the end of November against three former FIFA leaders, this source confirmed. This complaint targets public comments by these former members of the International Football Federation, whose names have not been filtered, who spoke about ten years ago about the accusations against the legend of the Blues.
