It appears FIFA has been caught in yet another corruption scandal, this time with current president Gianni Infantino.
As part of a broader case involving the nation’s Attorney General, Michael Lauber, Swiss officials have opened criminal proceedings against both Infantino and Lauber for allegations of corruption during a 2017 secret meeting. According to Reuters, Swiss officials had appointed a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of criminal conduct from the Attorney General with FIFA and Infantino.
Last week, a Swiss court concluded that Lauber and Infantino had conducted a secret meeting in 2017. Lauber lied to his supervisors even as his office worked cases investigating corruption in FIFA.
