Former UEFA president Michel Platini has launched civil and criminal legal proceedings in France against world soccer’s governing body FIFA and its current ​president Gianni Infantino over corruption allegations in 2015 that ended his bid to lead the organisation, Reuters reported. 

A criminal complaint filed in Paris accuses Infantino, former FIFA legal director Marco Villiger and former audit committee chairman Domenico Scala of malicious ​prosecution and influence peddling.
