Infantino Reported to IOC over Alleged Rules Breaches
FairSquare says Infantino breached IOC neutrality rules five times and cites prima facie evidence of two more violations, including the Balogun case.
- FairSquare submitted a complaint to the International Olympic Committee alleging FIFA President Gianni Infantino violated political neutrality rules in dealings with United States President Donald Trump.
- The complaint alleges breaches of the Olympic Charter and code of ethics, citing 'prima facie' evidence of serious violations involving the Folarin Balogun case.
- Fifty members of the European Parliament wrote to the FIFA ethics committee on June 29 urging action, while the Norwegian football federation requested consideration last month.
- Disciplinary committee chair Mohammad Al Kamali suspended Balogun's ban, allegedly following a call from President Donald Trump; FIFA has offered no clarification regarding the decision.
- While FairSquare confirmed the International Olympic Committee logged the grievance, the organization has received no updates; both FIFA and the committee have been approached for comment.
