Infantino faces new crisis over alleged relationship and finances
Gianni Infantino's presidency of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) faces new controversy following the publication of a report by the British newspaper "The Telegraph." The report accuses him of having a personal relationship with an employee of the European Football Union (UEFA) during his tenure as the Union's Secretary-General. The allegations include claims that the employee received a promotion and a salary increase of 30%, along with financial compensation and coverage of master's degree expenses totaling around 45,000 British pounds annually, before leaving UEFA. Infantino has strongly denied the validity of these accusations, emphasizing that the union did not receive any complaints regarding his conduct, and that all payments were made in accordance with regulations without any legal violations. Meanwhile, this case adds to the wave of criticism and pressure he faces over governance and transparency issues within the organization. There is an increasing demand for his resignation within European circles, as he battles to retain his position at the helm of global football.
