GENEVA: Fifa president Gianni Infantino will continue in his post, world football’s governing body insisted Sunday, as they blasted the launch of Swiss criminal proceedings against him.
Special prosecutor Stefan Keller started proceedings on Thursday as part of an investigation into suspected collusion between Infantino and Switzerland’s attorney-general Michael Lauber, the country’s top prosecutor. Swiss authorities said Keller “reached the conclusion that … there are indications of criminal conduct” in relation to meetings between Infantino, Lauber and another official, Rinaldo Arnold, in 2016 and 2017.
“Fifa and the Fifa president categorically deny any implication or suggestion that the Fifa president would ever have attempted to exert any form of improper influence” on Lauber.They said the meeting between Infantino and Lauber was “entirely logical” given that the Office of the Attorney-General was conducting investigations in more than 20 cases in Fifa-related matters.
