The FIFA issued a statement this Thursday regarding its president, Gianni Infantino: “FIFA President Gianni Infantino has always acted correctly and legally in his dealings with Swiss prosecutors investigating the ‘old FIFA’. The new FIFA is now a clean, well-run and stable organization that operates in accordance with the highest ethical and governance standards.“.
“FIFA considers, with great satisfaction, the decision of two extraordinary federal prosecutors, Hans Maurer and Ulrich Weder, to dismiss and definitively close the case against Gianni Infantino in connection with the so-called ‘Lauber case‘”. “Maurer and Weder were appointed to the case after the former extraordinary prosecutor was rightly dismissed by the Swiss Federal Criminal Court in 2021 for acting with clear bias.“.”Obviously, the result of this research is not surprising. The only surprising thing is the long time it took to reach a clear conclusion.“.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said: “This is a complete and clear victory for me, for the new FIFA and for justice! It is now clear that the accusations against me are just attempts by poor, envious and corrupt people to attack my reputation. If these people have any dignity left, they should at least have the decency and apologize for their actions and the harm caused.“.”“The investigation fully and clearly proves that I have always acted legally and correctly, always exclusively defending the interests of FIFA and football.”.
