Corinne Blatter defends her Father Sepp Blatter

Corinne Blatter insists the re-elected official is
"hard-working" and hit out at Michel Platini for
failing to run for the position himself
The daughter of Fifa president Sepp Blatter says he
is not the sort of person to take money.
Blatter was re-elected for a fifth term at the head of
football's governing body despite outspoken
opposition following the corruption scandal of the
past week.
The Swiss himself hit out at Uefa, and the US and
Britain, for an alleged 'hate campaign' against him
in the wake of the arrests of several Fifa officials in
Zurich.
And Corinne Blatter says her father - who has
never been personally connected to the corruption
investigation - insists he is hard-working and
honest in his role.
"He's not concerned [about potential arrest], not at
all," she told the BBC . "Nobody's without fault, but
he's not a person who is taking money. All the
money he earned, he earned it by working. He is a
hard-working president.
"All these people saying he takes money - I don't
know what kind of money he should take. His
character is not like that."
When asked if Blatter would be willing to talk to
law enforcement as part of their investigation, she
said: "I don't know, you have to ask him that."
She went on to criticise the timing of the
investigation and hit out at Michel Platini for
refusing to present himself as a viable candidate
for the Fifa presidency alongside Prince Ali bin al-
Hussein of Jordan.
"I don't think he has no credibility. All these things
happened to discredit him, that he would resign,
that he would say 'I'm not going to go for
president'," she said.
"But I can tell you, in about two or three weeks,
nobody's going to talk about those any more.
Other news is going to be top and he's going to
work normally.
"He's also the president of those who didn't vote
for him, and they have to find a way to work
together.
"You should ask those 73 voters why they voted
for Prince Ali. I don't think everyone wanted Prince
Ali to become president. I think some just wanted
to say 'hey, Mr President, please - you have to
change'.
"I don't think it's just words, I think he's going to
do something.
"I wouldn't say just from the Americans and the
British, but certainly people working behind the
scenes, yes [he believes are conspiring against
him].
"I don't know if you want to call them dark forces.
They really tried hard. Everything started last year.
They tried a lot.
"How can Uefa, who say they are the strongest
confederation, not put up a candidate? If he
[Platini] was serious about it, he should have
[stood for election]."
