Gianni Infantino and UEFA
Friday
A Telegraph investigation repeated in the uploaded reports alleges Gianni Infantino helped a UEFA employee with whom he allegedly had a relationship gain a promotion and substantial pay rise. UEFA confirmed the employee later received a severance payment.
The report says workplace tensions prompted then UEFA president Michel Platini to intervene, after which the employee left the organisation. UEFA also confirmed its internal rules were subsequently amended, while the allegations add further pressure around Infantino’s leadership.
