UEFA prepares criminal complaint in Swiss courts against FIFA's Infantino over World Cup sell-off
Sports4 sources4 countries47m ago
UEFA is preparing to file a criminal complaint in Swiss courts against FIFA President Gianni Infantino concerning possible financial mismanagement. The legal action stems from Infantino's failed plan to sell future World Cup profits to private equity investors.
Under the proposed deal, investment firms Thrive and Kushner intended to pay FIFA US$4.2 billion to acquire a 20% stake in a subsidiary designed to operate the governing body’s commercial events, including the World Cup. UEFA has also sought documentation from a US court to support its upcoming Swiss case against the FIFA president.
