Soccer: UEFA wants to open disciplinary proceedings against FIFA boss Infantino
Because the FIFA president wanted to sell part of the World Cup rights to investors, the European association is now planning legal action. This is shown in court documents from the USA.
The UEFA is preparing to file a disciplinary case against FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the failed WM-Investorendeal. According to a 60-page document obtained by the Deutsche Presse-Agentur, the European football governing body is demanding that FIFA and the involved financial institutions produce documents related to the aborted project.
The aim appears to be securing potential evidence, as reported by the Associated Press. A lawsuit may also be initiated in Switzerland, with the AP citing the documents: "UEFA and its legal advisors are considering a Swiss disciplinary case against Infantino and possibly other Fifa officials for criminal negligence under Article 158 of the Swiss Criminal Code."
The story reads: Endspiel für Infantino – Trotz geplatzten Investoren-Deals wächst der Widerstand gegen den Fifa-Chef.
