FairSquare files new ethics complaint against FIFA president Gianni Infantino

The human rights organization FairSquare has submitted a new complaint to the FIFA ethics committee regarding the conduct of FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The filing alleges that Infantino violated the organization's code of ethics through various actions involving United States President Donald Trump. Specifically, the complaint points to a pattern of behavior intended to curry favor with the U.S. President, including an incident involving a suspended red-card ban for U.S. forward Folarin Balogun during the World Cup. Additional allegations focus on Infantino's involvement in a controversial investor deal and the earlier awarding of the FIFA Peace Prize to Trump. The document asserts that these actions represent an abuse of power and a breach of the duty of political neutrality and loyalty. FairSquare argues these incidents, some of which were previously reported, demonstrate a pursuit of personal benefit.
