The former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and vice-president, Michel Platini, are back in court fighting allegations of corruption.
They were cleared by a judge two and a half years ago, but the Office of the Attorney General in Switzerland is appealing.
The case, which started yesterday, is being held in Muttenz in canton Basel-Country.
