The UEFA believes that the plan to sell World Cup shares for 4.2 billion euros is an unusually low price and suspects fraud. The European football union claims that the plan was a premeditated scheme to allow Infantino and his small circle to gain a permanent interest in and profit from the most valuable assets of the FIFA, to the detriment of the FIFA, its members, and other parties within the football family.
The documents requested by the UEFA include those from Thrive Capital Management, a company owned by Joshua Kushner, the brother of the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump. Kushner would have become one of the largest shareholders of the World Cup with Thrive Capital Investment.
Infantino withdrew his World Cup plan after a storm of criticism. The UEFA has already withdrawn its trust in the FIFA president. The lawsuit will be filed with the Swiss court.
