Criminal case opened against FIFA president Gianni Infantino – Sydney Morning Herald
A Swiss special prosecutor has opened a criminal case against FIFA president Gianni Infantino, plunging world soccer’s governing body into a new scandal.
Keller, a legal expert named to the post of special prosecutor on June 29, found possible infractions included abuse of public office, breach of official secrecy, “assisting offenders” and “incitement to these acts,” the supervisory authority for the office of the attorney-general said in its statement, adding other criminal acts and proceedings could also be considered.
Suspects in such cases benefit from a presumption of innocence in Switzerland until legal proceedings are completed.
