A move with a bland aftertaste.
According to a report in the Swiss newspaper “SonntagsBlick”, FIFA President Gianni Infantino (51) moved to a new home ten months before the World Cup. The Swiss has moved to the host country Qatar with his family.
Qatar of all places! Ever since the World Cup was awarded to the emirate state, there have been speculations about allegations of corruption against FIFA. President Infantino in particular is repeatedly under fire because he fundamentally ignores human rights violations in Sharia country.
So now the move.
Two of his four daughters are already registered for school in Qatar. FIFA admitted to the Sunday newspaper that Infantino had rented a house with his family.
The reason: as FIFA President, Infantino often has to be there to help organize the tournament. FIFA insiders dispute that. Since the scandals surrounding Infantino’s predecessor, Sepp Blatter (85), the president has only had representative tasks.
Recently, Infantino has also been increasingly targeted by the judiciary. Two special investigators from the Swiss federal government are currently conducting criminal proceedings against the most powerful man in world football. The President had met the Swiss Federal Prosecutor Michael Lauber several times. Among other things, Lauber also investigated FIFA because of the World Cup award to Qatar.
Infantino met the federal prosecutor in Bern’s Hotel Schweizerhof. The hotel belongs: Of course, to the Emirate of Qatar. The country’s embassy is directly adjacent to a meeting room in the hotel.
