which emerged in 2015 when Platini was president of European soccer's ruling body UEFA who was forced out of FIFA over the affair.Blatter and Platini were suspended from football in 2015 by FIFA for ethics breaches although their exclusions were later reduced.Platini said he was relieved the case was over and he had received messages of support from 10,000 people."The persecution of FIFA and some Swiss federal prosecutors for 10 years is now over," Platini told reporters my honour has returned and I am very happy."The 69-year-old said he thought the case had been intended to prevent him becoming FIFA president but he was now too old to return to football.The money which had been confiscated and held by the Swiss authorities can now be returned to him.A frail-looking Blatter hugged his daughter Corinne after the judgement and said he was relieved with the decision."It is a great relief for me because it's been going on for ten years It's like a sword of Damocles hanging over my head," he told reporters."And now it's over and I can breathe," the 89-year-old said.Prosecutors had sought a sentence of 20 months in jail suspended for two years for both Blatter and Platini.The Swiss attorney general's office said it would review the written judgement before deciding whether to appeal again to the Swiss Federal Court the country's highest legal authority.($1 = 0.8837 Swiss francs)Reporting by John Revill editing by Ed Osmond and Christian Radnedge Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab , opens new tab Browse an unrivalled portfolio of real-time and historical market data and insights from worldwide sources and experts. , opens new tabScreen for heightened risk individual and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. © 2025 Reuters.

about five kilometers or so from the point where Switzerland Germany and France meet - the territory of Muttenz is cluttered with the nodes of the road that ties together three countries the way the great north flowing river once did Formal decompositionThe most notable building in this frontier- village turned city-quarter is its fortress church just past the well-conserved village center over an important thoroughfare and close to the district station a large tract of land accommodates the shopping center In an otherwise low-density zone which is characterized by disperse constructions brought together three different volumes in a peculiar complex The main question in the project lay in the difficult challenge of inserting in an old quarter the 2,500 square meters of a large commercial center It is a typology that often comes across as a characterless container and which is associated with the formal decomposition of a place So here the architects thought of using the residence and the hotel to support and mitigate the presence of commerce The three volumes surround a courtyardsquare forming a still life of two boxes on the edges of a checkered tablecloth A dimensional and structural grid organizes the peices and slots them all in to place -

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini yesterday won again in court and now lead 2-0 in trial verdicts against Swiss federal prosecutors. The former FIFA president and former UEFA president were acquitted for a second time on charges of fraud, forgery, mismanagement and misappropriation of more than US$2 million of FIFA money in 2011. The pair, once among the most powerful figures in global soccer, were cleared of the charges at the Extraordinary Appeals Chamber of the Swiss Criminal Court in Muttenz, near Basel. The hearing came after Swiss federal prosecutors appealed their July 2022 acquittal at a lower court, and asked for sentences of 20 months, suspended for two years. “After two acquittals, even the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland must realize that these criminal proceedings have definitively failed. Michel Platini must finally be left in peace in criminal matters,” Platini’s lawyer, Dominic Nellen, said in a statement. Blatter, 89, and Platini, 69, have consistently denied wrongdoing in the decade-long case that swung on their claims of a verbal agreement to one day settle the money in question. Blatter approved FIFA paying 2 million Swiss francs (US$2.26 million at the current exchange rate) to Platini, a former captain and manager of the French national team, in February 2011 for supplementary and non-contracted salary working as a presidential adviser from 1998 to 2002. The scandal, which emerged in 2015 when Platini was president of UEFA, ended his hopes of succeeding Blatter, who was forced out of FIFA over the affair. “The criminal proceedings have had not only legal, but also massive personal and professional consequences for Michel Platini — although no incriminating evidence was ever presented. Among other things, the criminal proceedings prevented his election as FIFA president in 2016,” Nellen said. Although federal court trials have twice cleared their names, Blatter’s reputation would likely always be tied to leading FIFA during corruption crises that took down a swath of senior soccer officials worldwide. Oppenheim Architecture Completes Muttenz Water Purification PlantApr 22, 2019 9:02 am EDTOppenheim Architecture recently completed the City of Muttenz's new municipal water purification plant The plant is a model of sustainability and extremely sensitive to its contrasting setting near the Rhine riverfront Nestled between the protected forest and the nearby industrial parks the project also

(Switzerland)(Image credit: Tour of Japan)Jolanda Neff and Ralph Näf are the winners of the final round of the BMC Racing Cup in Muttenz near Basel In front of the magnificent backdrop of a record audience Swiss champion Neff scored the overall victory in the series for the first time Naef's pace-making initiative supported his German BMC teammate Moritz Milatz in winning the overall classification ahead of Mathias Flueckiger Prior to the final round of the BMC Racing Cup there was no doubt about the set-up of the men's race Since Fabian Giger and Julien Absalon had refrained from taking part the duel was between Moritz Milatz and Mathias Flueckiger (Stoeckli Pro) the athlete with the better result was bound to gain overall victory an interesting constellation had developed The lead group consisted of three members of team BMC plus two Stoeckli bikers thus causing trouble for Mathias Flueckiger "I have still felt a little bit tired due to our trip to North America But I lost touch on the climb - of all places That was supposed to be my strong point," said Mathias Flueckiger He almost managed to close the gap again at the end of the first lap "My plan was to go really fast in the first three laps in order to stretch out the field After the first half of the 55.8-kilometre race Milatz and Lukas Flueckiger also joined Naef's speed initiative and they enlarged their lead whereas tired Mathias Flueckiger tried to benefit from team mate Matthias Stirnemann the BMC trio at the top of the race split up again and Naef finally secured his well-deserved victory (1:35:37) sprinting against Lukas Flueckiger It's superb that we have followed this through as a team" said Naef of the successful repetition of his victory in Muttenz last year Lukas Flueckiger admitted that he had not been feeling well right after the start of the race He had suffered from stomach problems since Friday "But after the first lap my engine was humming We all have done our leading duties but Ralph has deserved to win this race," said Lukas Flueckiger who had crossed the line twelth seconds behind Naef first went to see and to thank his hardworking teammate "It was the optimal case that we have opened up a small gap to Mathias we have gotten the most out of this race today," said the multiple-time German champion from Freiburg The young lady from Thal claimed her fifth BMC Racing Cup victory of the current season This triumph is also her 55th victory in the series since the beginning of her career as well as her first overall victory in the elite category who also wrapped up the overall World Cup victory just one week ago fought a duel with Gunn-Rita Dahle-Flesjaa in the first lap of the seven-lap race Entering the technical part after the climb Neff noticed that the Norwegian rider's tires were slipping repeatedly "Therefore I overtook her and had a small lead at the end of the passage," said Neff she was seven seconds ahead of Dahle-Flesjaa After that the Norwegian record World Cup winner even fell back to her closest chasers Katrin Leumann (Riehen) and Linda Indergand (Silenen) Whereas Yolanda Neff surmised that Dahle must have had some kind of incidence I knew that I would not be capable of keeping the pace after so many weeks without competition," said Dahle-Flesjaa She stayed with her two Swiss competitirs for the rest of the race whereas Neff was alone in first position and extended her lead Neff won the 43-kilometer race with a commanding lead of exactly five minutes although the 21-year-old had suffered a mechanical in the penultimate lap "I have tried to keep things really exciting near the end of the race," she joked Linda Indergand also had a broad smile on her face when she crossed the line in second The U23 rider had no problems beating local hero Katrin Leumann and Dahle-Flesjaa in the final sprint to the finish gaining her best BMC Racing Cup result so far "I was struggling on the climb in every lap but I spurred myself on to stay with them and to keep on fighting" This way she managed to keep pace with her competitors and could finally relegate Leumann to third place Leuman was also quite happy about her result: "During the last few weeks I had a real lack of self-confidence Therefore I am very glad that things went so well today I am really okay with third place in front of my home crowd," said Leumann Neff is the winner of the overall classification ahead of Kathrin Stirnemann (5th in Muttenz) and Andrea Waldis The acquisition of the two industrial parks outside of Basel by GETEC and the integration of the two directly adjacent areas enables the competitive position of the location to be improved by increasing service efficiency and quality as well as greater flexibility Through the
