Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter and French football legend Michel Platini are back in court in Switzerland to face accusations of fraud.

Blatter, 88, reaffirmed that he was innocent.

In his testimony at the first trial, Blatter said that he had asked Platini to work as his adviser in 1998.

He stopped working for Fifa in 2002 but initially did not pursue the payment as he told the court he had not needed the money at the time, and - according to Blatter - Fifa was "broke".

In January 2011, however, Platini felt he was in a position to send an invoice and the money was paid after approval by Blatter.
