UEFA prepares criminal complaint in Swiss courts against FIFA's Infantino over World Cup sell-off

UEFA is preparing a criminal complaint in Swiss courts against FIFA President Gianni Infantino over potential financial mismanagement connected to a failed plan to sell future World Cup profits to private investors. UEFA said Thursday it filed documents in a Manhattan court seeking discovery of possible evidence from Thrive Capital Management, an investment fund based in New York and founded by Joshua Kushner. The move suggests UEFA believes details around the proposed financing arrangement and its collapse may have legal implications beyond the sporting domain. The complaint is expected to target Swiss legal authorities, but UEFA did not provide additional procedural timelines.
