UEFA threatens Infantino with five-year jail over secret deal
The legal war between the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and FIFA President Gianni Infantino is intensifying, following UEFA's announcement of its intention to file a criminal complaint in Switzerland regarding a secret project devised by FIFA last July. UEFA accuses Infantino of mismanagement, revealing that the project aimed to enable close associates of Infantino to obtain permanent shares of World Cup revenues in exchange for investments exceeding $4.2 billion. This scheme damages FIFA's reputation and threatens the interests of the union. The charges include deliberate attempts to harm FIFA as an institution, with the possibility of Infantino facing up to five years in prison if intent to cause harm is proven.
