FIFA has accused UEFA of orchestrating a "misinformation campaign" and attempting to sway the race for its presidential election, according to new court documents. FIFA's statement also described UEFA's actions as "in bad faith and with the intent to harass." In a recent filing to the US, FIFA requested disclosure of evidence and documents from FIFA, threatening to file a criminal complaint in Switzerland should FIFA refuse.
UEFA has accused FIFA President Gianni Infantino of "criminal mismanagement" and "fraudulently overpricing" the now-abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) scheme. FIFA responded to UEFA's claim, stating that their allegations were "without foundation," and contended that Infantino never intended to profit personally from the FFE proposal.
Furthermore, FIFA deemed UEFA's request for discovery "farcically overbroad" and challenged the district court's ability to comply. FIFA has refused to disclose evidence pertaining to the FFE plan, requesting the court to dismiss UEFA's motion. Insiders suggest that if FIFA has no grounds for concern, it should release the documents, facilitating a quicker legal process.
