Former UEFA president Michel Platini has been arrested amid an investigation into alleged corruption in the 2022 Qatar World Cup bidding process. Platini is reportedly being held in custody at a police station in Paris. He was Uefa president for 8 years until 2015 when he was banned from football by the Fifa ethics committee. Platini was found guilty of accepting a disloyal payment of £1.6million from Sepp Blatter.
