"Both men are also facing investigation by FIFA's independent ethics committee over the payment, which Platini said was for work as Blatter's technical advisor between 1999 and 2002."
So the "work" was from 1999-2002, yet the "payment" was made in 2011.
Quite a gap.
Indeed it was.
And what a "surprise" that Platini subsequently did not stand against Sepp on the very next vote for his FIFA presidency election in 2014. Funny, that.
