Platini, a FIFA vice president, is already serving a 90-day suspension while an investigation is held into a $2 million sum he received from FIFA president Sepp Blatter who is also suspended. Platini&rsquo;s lawyer Thibaud d&rsquo;Ales revealed FIFA&rsquo;s life ban demand which he described as a &ldquo;scandal&rdquo; and &ldquo;excessive&rdquo;.
&ldquo;This ban is subject to the proof of corruption, but the punishment is clearly excessive,&rdquo; D&rsquo;Ales said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not based on anything in the case.&rdquo;
Blatter&rsquo;s representatives refused to comment on whether the same request has been made against the Swiss official. FIFA&rsquo;s adjudicatory chamber announced on Monday that it has opened a case against Blatter and Platini. Both men have denied any wrongdoing.
