Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was on Friday acquitted by a Swiss court of corruption in the allocation of World Cup TV rights, while former FIFA number two Jerome Valcke was handed a suspended sentence for a secondary charge. The two men were accused of a "corrupt agreement" after Valcke was alleged to have sought the help of Al-Khelaifi, the chairman of BeIN Sports, to buy a luxury villa in Sardinia, at a time when the Qatari-owned broadcaster was negotiating the extension of its media rights in North Africa and the Middle East for the 2026 and 2030 World Cups. cfe/jed/dif/mw/pb
