A journalistic investigation by The Telegraph alleges FIFA President Gianni Infantino used UEFA funds to pay a substantial severance package to a former lover. The investigation centers on a relationship that became public knowledge while Infantino was working at UEFA. According to reports, then-UEFA President Michel Platini intervened in the situation, reportedly telling Infantino he would have to choose between his position and the relationship. The payment raises questions about potential misuse of funds and ethical conduct within the organization. Details of the severance package’s amount have not been fully disclosed, but reports indicate it was significant. This accusation represents a new controversy for Infantino, who has previously faced scrutiny regarding his leadership. The allegations are currently under investigation and further details are expected to emerge.
