Former FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, has been handed a further six years and eight months ban from the game and fined a million Swiss Francs by the body’s Ethics Committee.

Blatter’s current ban from the game was due to expire in October, but the latest ban, for ethics code violations, will take effect from that point.

Former FIFA General Secretary, Jerome Valcke, was also handed an identical ban and fine.

A statement by the Ethics Committee, suggests that Blatter violated the code of ethics relating to misappropiation of funds.

“The investigations into Blatter and Valcke covered various charges, in particular, concerning bonus payments in relation to FIFA competitions that were paid to top FIFA management officials, various amendments and extensions of employment contracts, as well as reimbursement by FIFA of private legal costs in the case of Mr. Valcke,” the Ethics Committee said in a statement.
