Suspended UEFA president Michel Platini says all his accounts and assets are known by tax authorities after he was named in leaked documents about offshore accounts from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.
According to the Le Monde newspaper, Platini has been managing an offshore company funded in Panama in 2007 and named Balney Enterprises Corp.
Platini's advisers said in a statement on Monday that the former France international "wants to inform that, as he stated it many times to the journalists in charge of the investigation, all of his accounts and assets are known to the tax authorities in Switzerland, where he has been a fiscal resident since 2007."
Platini's advisers declined to confirm whether he actually managed the company.
Platini was suspended from office in October by FIFA's ethics committee and is now serving a six-year ban over a $2 million payment that former FIFA president Sepp Blatter approved from FIFA funds in 2011.
FIFA has launched an investigation into links between disgraced former FIFA vice president Eugenio Figueredo and a member of its own Ethics Committee, Juan Pedro Damiani.
The father of Lionel Messi also denied the family's involvement in tax evasion projects as alleged by the "Panama Papers."
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalism, a nonprofit organisation based in Washington, said the cache of 11.5 million records detailed the offshore holdings of a dozen current and former world leaders, as well as businessmen, criminals, celebrities and sports stars, as well as Damiani.
Fonseca, the co-founder of the Panamanian-based law firm where the documents originated, confirmed the authenticity of the papers being used in articles published by more than 100 news organisations around the world. Ramon Fonseca told Panama's Channel 2 television network that the documents were obtained illegally in a hacking attack.
