UEFA prepare complaint for ‘criminal mismanagement’ against Infantino
World4 sources4 countries24m ago
European football's governing body UEFA is preparing and pursuing criminal legal action and a formal complaint against FIFA president Gianni Infantino and FIFA itself. According to documents seen by AFP and BBC Sport, the legal proceedings center on a now-shelved and scrapped plan to sell off stakes and bring private financing into the World Cup and other competitions.
The disputed proposal, which has since been abandoned, involved selling competition stakes to private investors. UEFA's move marks a significant escalation in tensions between the European body and the leadership of world football's governing organization regarding governance and financial management.
