Legal chief faces sack over Infantino meetings

A Swiss parliamentary commission decided to open proceedings that could see the country’s attorney-general dismissed as part of an investigation over a number of alleged secret meetings with Fifa president Gianni Infantino.

It is “due to a well-founded suspicion of serious violation of the duties of office either intentionally or by gross negligence”, explained the president of the commission, Andrea Caroni.

If the commission finds that the suspicions are confirmed, it will submit a proposal for dismissal to parliament who will decide on the sacking.
