Uefa is pursuing criminal legal proceedings against Fifa and its president Gianni Infantino, as revealed by BBC Sport. Documents seen by the BBC show that European football's governing body has made an application requesting access to evidence and documents for use in proceedings in Switzerland. This move comes after Infantino publicly announced a plan to place the commercial rights to the men's and women's World Cups and the Club World Cup into a new subsidiary, Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE), without consulting the Fifa Council, Uefa, or any of the other confederations, or any of the 211 Fifa member associations. The plan was reportedly conceived and developed in secret for more than a year.
