At the end of May 2015, on the eve of the FIFA presidential elections, Blatter was attacked by a number of media outlets in connection with a corruption scandal in the leadership of the federation. Opinions differ as to the reasons behind the FIFA scandal. The main ones are three: strengthening the fight against corruption in sports, the desire to divert the attention of the world community from other issues, an attempt to cancel the 2018 World Cup in Russia and in 2022 in Qatar and transfer them to other countries.

On May 29, 2015, Joseph was re-elected President of FIFA for a fifth term, after he withdrew Ali bin al-Hussein in the elections after the 1st round. Moreover, Blatter lacked 7 votes for an instant victory. But on June 2, 2015, 4 days after his re-election, he announced his resignation as FIFA President. Until the new elections, Joseph remained acting.

In the autumn of the same year, the Swiss prosecutor's office opened a criminal case under two articles - "criminal negligence" and "embezzlement". Joseph was accused of illegally transferring funds to UEFA President Michel Platini, which he arbitrarily withdrawn from the FIFA treasury. The payment amounted to 2 million Swiss francs. Blatter was suspended from professional duties for 8 years. Later, the term was reduced to 6 years. His place in the organization was taken by Gianni Infantino.

Joseph Blatter's personal life aroused interest in the press. The official himself provided rich food for gossip and gossip. The FIFA President was married three times, but is now divorced. From his first marriage he has a daughter, Corinne, and a granddaughter, Serena. The second wife was 41 years younger than Blatter; their marriage lasted 12 months.

2 years later, the Spanish edition El Mundo published a list of women with whom Blatter had a relationship. The penultimate in this list was the Russian model Irina Shayk.
