Uefa President Michel Platini wants Fifa World Cup report to be made public

 

Uefa president Michel Platini wants Fifa to publish the report into alleged World Cup bidding corruption.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter previously rejected calls to publish the report by American lawyer Michael Garcia, the man who compiled it.

"I have no issue with the findings and recommendations being made available to the public," said Platini.
German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert is now considering the report and will announce his findings in November.
"As long as the regulations of the FIFA code of ethics regarding the actual investigation are respected, I support the publishing of the report," added Platini in a statement.
Platini is the latest senior Fifa figure to break ranks after Garcia called for greater transparency.
"I believe it is now necessary for the Fifa executive committee to authorise the appropriate publication of the report," said Garcia.
