LONDON — A Jordanian princess who is married to the billionaire ruler of Dubai has for more than a year been discretely working with British private investigators in an attempt to collect evidence of corruption in global soccer, according to several people with direct knowledge of the effort.
The princess, Haya bint al-Hussein, has hired Quest, a global advisory and investigations firm based in London, to help in her effort. The firm’s investigators have sought to meet with current and former FIFA officials, as well as scores of others from the often shadowy world of soccer politics.
