Sepp Blatter expects all of his corruption charges to be dropped following his Fifa ethics committee hearing. The Fifa president has been suspended along with his Uefa counterpart Michel Platini over a payment made to the latter without a contract in 2011.
On Monday, Fifa will announce the extent of the Swiss over the corruption charges but he says he has already been told by the judge that they would be dropped.
"The judge told me at the beginning of the hearing that they would drop the corruption accusations," Blatter told SonntagsBlick.
"At the end, I got the feeling that justice will prevail."
Blatter was recently taken to hospital with illness, but he says he nearly died in October as the corruption crisis began to unravel.
"I nearly died at the end of October. It was five to 12," Blatter recalled.
"My immune system fell apart and I just collapsed. Luckily, my heart and brains always functioned and fought off death."
The 79-year-old said even his family have had to bear the burden of the allegations against him.
"My granddaughter got bullied in school because people told her that her grandfather is a bad person and the gangster of the country," Blatter said.
