Disgraced Michel Platini could pick up large severance and retirement package from UEFA
But new president Aleksander Ceferin insists governing body will not make any illegal or unethical payments
UEFA could still pay its former president Michel Platini a substantial sum in compensation.
Even though Platini is suspended for four years as a result of suspicions of corruption it seems as though he could be eligible for severance and retirement benefits.
A UEFA spokesman said: "The subject will be addressed in the coming months by the executive committee of UEFA, on the proposal and on the advice of the new UEFA compensation committee and experts in law."
Platini was suspended by FIFA's ethics committee of any activity related to football for eight years, reduced to six years on appeal and then to four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The sanction follows a payment of £1.125million received by Platini from former FIFA president Sepp Blatte, who also suspended, without any written contract.
