Gianni Infantino accused of assisting Manchester City and PSG

The President of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Gianni Infantino was accused of assisting Manchester City and PSG. This is reported by Football Leaks.

The portal's author, Rui Pinto, said that in 2014, Infantino, while working for the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), turned a blind eye to financial irregularities on the part of both clubs and thus helped them avoid investigation and remain among the participants in the Champions League. “He handed over confidential documents and outwitted the investigative chamber so that both Manchester City and PSG got away with just a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to suspension from the Champions League,” Pinto wrote.

Earlier it became known that an independent commission of the English Premier League (EPL) found Manchester City guilty of 114 of 115 counts of violating the league’s financial rules. The club was also found guilty of most of the charges relating to failure to cooperate with the investigation. The violations cover the period from the 2009/10 season to the 2017/18 season.

The leadership of the “townspeople” expressed disagreement with the verdict and announced their intention to appeal the decision. It has the right to do this until October 2.
