Uefa pursuing criminal legal action against Infantino

UEFA is pursuing criminal legal proceedings against FIFA president Gianni Infantino over a scrapped plan to sell stakes in the World Cup and other competitions to private investors, accusing him of "criminal mismanagement" and self-enrichment. UEFA claims Infantino engineered the scheme to benefit himself and a small circle of investors while undervaluing FIFA's assets at approximately $20 billion without independent verification or competitive bidding. The plan was abandoned after widespread backlash following this summer's World Cup.
