Fifa faces US Congress probe over scam
A U.S. Democratic lawmaker has warned that Fifa could face a congressional investigation if Democrats win control of the House in the upcoming elections. The investigation would focus on Fifa’s plans to privatize its commercial operations, which are valued at about $20 billion, amid concerns over potential links to corruption and connections with the Trump administration and Jared Kushner’s family. Fifa’s proposed sale has sparked opposition from European football authorities and follows controversies related to Fifa’s relationship with Donald Trump, including awarding a Peace Prize to Trump and reversing a red card after Trump’s intervention.
