LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AFP) — Fifty members of the European Parliament have urged FIFA’s ethics committee to investigate their president Gianni Infantino for awarding a ‘peace prize’ to US President Donald Trump.
The MEPs signed a letter, supporting a complaint by British-based sports human rights lobbying group FairSquare in December.
The letter, dated June 29 and released on Thursday night by FairSquare, said that FIFA’s code of ethics required Infantino “remain politically neutral”.
