Sepp Blatter earned 3.6 million Swiss francs ($3.7 million) in 2015, Fifa said Thursday as it revealed the fallen world football leader's salary for the first time.
Blatter,
now serving a six-year-ban for ethical misconduct, always resisted
publishing his earnings during his 17 years in charge.
Fifa
also said that Jerome Valcke, the former secretary general who was
fired for misconduct, earned 2.1 million Swiss francs ($2.2 million).
Meanwhile,
Fifa on Thursday announced a $122 million loss in 2015 which it blamed
partly on legal fees and other extra costs caused by a corruption
scandal.
Football's world body, which had a surplus of $141 million in 2014, said it was its first loss since 2002.
Fifa's
revenue has increased in its past four-year financial cycle, but it
blamed the loss on "expenses and higher competition costs, but also due
to unforeseen costs such as legal fees and costs for extraordinary
meetings."
