Trump, Kushner and Infantino in World Cup influence network
The Guardian newspaper revealed that Joshua Kushner plays a central role in FIFA's plan to sell shares of the World Cup rights to private investors, a deal that has sparked widespread criticism due to its familial and political connections. The Kushner family, particularly Joshua and his brother Jared, leads a complex network of influence that includes ties to the Trump administration. FIFA President Gianni Infantino faces criticism from the European Parliament and the United States over the intention to sell 20% of the tournament's rights, raising concerns that this could lead to complete control over the World Cup. The intersection of financial and political interests raises questions about Infantino's independence, as critics have uncovered Joshua's efforts to attract sovereign wealth funds to build a global investment base—an initiative that fuels fears of political influence intertwining with sports.
