UEFA files criminal complaint against Infantino over World Cup profits

In Switzerland, UEFA is preparing a criminal complaint against FIFA President Gianni Infantino for financial mismanagement. This follows Infantino's failed plan to sell future World Cup profits to private investors, which was abandoned on August 1 after significant backlash from global soccer leaders. UEFA claims the proposed sale price of $4.2 billion for a 20% stake in a FIFA subsidiary was fraudulently low and not properly valued.
