UEFA seeks subpoena of Josh Kushner over FIFA privatization plan

The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has requested a federal judge in Manhattan to approve subpoenas for Josh Kushner regarding his involvement in a controversial plan to partially privatize FIFA. UEFA alleges that the $20 billion proposal, led by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, involved 'criminal mismanagement' that harmed FIFA's reputation and governance. UEFA’s legal action has escalated following a failure to implement the privatization plan, which UEFA criticized leading up to the 2026 World Cup. Kushner's venture capital firm, Thrive Financial, allegedly played a critical role in the discussions regarding the deal. UEFA has emphasized that Kushner is not being targeted for prosecution but is needed for testimony and records in this matter.
