Stefan Blättler is a Swiss lawyer and the current head of the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office, having taken over from Michael Lauber. He has been in the spotlight due to the controversial handling of corruption cases related to FIFA, specifically the legal proceedings against former FIFA president Joseph Blatter and Michel Platini. His tenure has been marked by criticism over the failure to effectively address systemic corruption in football, culminating in the recent acquittal of Blatter and Platini, which has raised questions regarding the competence and priorities of the Swiss judicial system.
