Report: FIFA president Gianni Infantino to be interviewed by ethics committee

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is to be interviewed by ethics investigators over allegations that he breached the governing body's code of ethics, according to reports.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is to be interviewed by ethics investigators to address allegations that he breached the governing body's code of ethics, according to reports.

The 46-year-old is alleged to have acted to destroy recordings of a FIFA council meeting in Mexico and discussed how to dismiss Domenico Scala, the head of the audit and compliance committee, among other accusations.

Infantino, who strongly denies the allegations, will reportedly be spoken to as part of a preliminary investigation, and if it is decided that a formal inquiry should be opened, he could be suspended for 90 days.

A FIFA spokesman told BBC Sport: "The FIFA president has stated publicly he fully respects the independence and work of the ethics committee and that he would provide, if required, whatever information necessary to facilitate any potential review by the committee.

"The president has made clear that he has acted appropriately and in accordance with FIFA's code of ethics."

Infantino is said to be "very confident" that no further action will be taken, with sources close to the former UEFA secretary general reportedly describing the allegations as "absurd" and "baseless".
