UEFA Files Criminal Complaint Against Infantino | Tulsa News

UEFA is preparing to file a criminal complaint in Switzerland against FIFA President Gianni Infantino over a controversial proposed deal to sell a slice of future World Cup profits to private investors for $4.2 billion — a move UEFA claims was mismanaged, undervalued, and potentially self-serving. The plan, which involved Thrive Capital Management buying a 20% stake in a new commercial entity, collapsed after intense backlash from UEFA and other soccer leaders, prompting Infantino to abandon it in early August. UEFA now suspects the deal lacked transparency and aimed to secure long-term personal financial gain at FIFA’s expense. Already gathering evidence in U.S. courts, UEFA is pushing forward with Swiss legal action — despite Switzerland’s track record of acquitting FIFA officials in similar corruption cases — underscoring mounting global scrutiny of FIFA’s leadership and finances.
