The Swiss Public Prosecutor's Office (MPC) has decided to close one of two investigations into former FIFA president Sepp Blatter, reports claimed.
According to French newspaper Le Monde and German daily Suddeutsche Zeitung, the disgraced 84-year-old will not be prosecuted over a charge relating to TV rights sold to the Caribbean Football Union (CFU).
That was one of two criminal cases opened against Blatter in 2015 for "suspicion of unfair management and breach of trust".
Blatter told AFP on Friday that he had "not personally received the document of the MPC. I will ask my lawyer to forward it to me.
"It relates to the contract over TV rights."
