欧洲足球管理机构（UEFA）正准备在瑞士法院对国际足联（FIFA）主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）及其他可能的FIFA官员提起刑事诉讼，指控其涉嫌“刑事不当管理”或“刑事管理不善”123。该指控依据为《瑞士刑法》第158条12。UEFA律师在一份56页的文件中阐述了相关法律行动，而FIFA目前尚未对此作出回应2。
此次法律纠纷源于因凡蒂诺此前试图向私人投资者出售FIFA商业权益的计划123。因凡蒂诺曾提议成立名为“FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE)”的商业子公司，负责运营包括男女世界杯和俱乐部世界杯在内的赛事商业权利123。根据原计划，由约书亚·库什纳（Joshua Kushner）创立的Thrive Capital Management拟支付42亿美元，收购该子公司20%的股权，从而获得FIFA商业部门的永久财务权益13。然而，UEFA在文件中指出，这42亿美元可能是因凡蒂诺为自身利益推动的“欺诈性非市场价格”，隐含的企业估值仅约200亿美元13。此外，因凡蒂诺还曾向FIFA的211个成员协会提供4000万英镑，以换取对该提案的支持3。
UEFA方面表示，因凡蒂诺秘密策划了该方案，不仅不符合FIFA通常的治理程序，且未与FIFA理事会进行协商23。为此，UEFA及其成员曾投票威胁抵制世界杯，除非FFE计划被取消3。在全球足球界的强烈反对下，因凡蒂诺于8月1日放弃了该出售计划1。
在放弃抵制威胁一天后，UEFA对因凡蒂诺发起新一轮施压，要求其辞职2。为推进在瑞士的刑事指控，UEFA已向美国法院申请获取潜在证据123。UEFA在曼哈顿法院提交文件，要求从Thrive Capital Management获取有关FFE创建过程的证词和文件12；同时，UEFA还向佛罗里达法院申请获取FIFA Americas和FWC2026两家企业的文件3。目前，因凡蒂诺正寻求在3月连任第四届FIFA主席3。
UEFA is preparing to file a criminal complaint against FIFA President Gianni Infantino in Swiss courts, accusing him of criminal mismanagement under Article 158 of the Swiss Criminal Code 123. The legal action targets Infantino's now-abandoned plan to sell a stake in FIFA's commercial rights, which were linked to the men's and women's World Cups and the Club World Cup, to private investors through a proposed subsidiary named FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) 23. Infantino officially scrapped the sale plan on August 1 following intense opposition from the global football community 13.
At the center of the allegations is a proposed $4.2 billion deal in which Thrive Capital Management, founded by Joshua Kushner, planned to acquire a 20% stake in the commercial subsidiary 1. According to a 56-page document seen by The Associated Press, UEFA argues that this figure could be a "fraudulent below-market price" driven by Infantino for his own benefit 12. UEFA contends that the deal would have granted investors a permanent financial interest in FIFA's commercial department, implying a total corporate valuation of only about $20 billion 3. Furthermore, UEFA claims Infantino secretly orchestrated the scheme in a manner that bypassed FIFA's usual governing processes and without consulting the FIFA Council, potentially harming the organization and its 211 member associations 23. To secure support for the proposal, Infantino allegedly offered £40 million to the member associations 3.
To build its case, UEFA has filed documents in both a Manhattan court and a Florida court, seeking permission to obtain testimony and evidence regarding the creation of the FFE subsidiary 123. The European football governing body is specifically requesting documents from Thrive Capital Management, as well as records from two FIFA entities, FIFA Americas and FWC2026 13. This legal escalation follows UEFA's decision to drop its threat of boycotting FIFA tournaments, shifting instead to a new pressure campaign demanding Infantino's resignation 2. UEFA and its members had previously voted to boycott the World Cup unless the FFE plan was canceled 3. As the legal battle unfolds, Infantino is seeking re-election for a fourth term as FIFA president in March, while FIFA has not yet responded to UEFA's legal advances 23.
