Ekip newspaper reported on Thursday, November 12, that Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, is suspected of having employed a woman who did not have legal residence status in the United States, at his home in Miami, and then used his position to obtain a work permit for her.
According to Ekip, this woman was on the list of FIFA wage earners.
Also, the "Guardian" reported that a complaint was submitted to the American Tax Administration in this regard, in which they asked this institution to investigate the way in which this woman was hired and hired her.
The complaint alleges that he worked only for Infantino and his wife, but received his salary or benefits through an entity affiliated with FIFA.
FIFA rejected this claim. A spokesman for that institution said Infantino personally pays for his house staff.
The complaint states that "senior managers, in their official capacity and on behalf of FIFA, abused the tax-exempt status of this institution."
According to this newspaper, if the tax department approves the allegations made, FIFA's tax exemption in America could be in jeopardy.
