Fifa president Gianni Infantino is running unopposed in his bid for a second term as the head of world football’s governing body, but that does not mean everyone approves of his job performance.
Least of all his predecessor, Sepp Blatter, who led Fifa from 1998 to 2015, when he was forced out in disgrace amid a global corruption scandal.
“I want to sue him,” Blatter said of Infantino, the man he blames for a host of offences – both personal and in his stewardship of Fifa, where Blatter worked for 41 years.
In an interview with AFP, Blatter accused Infantino and Fifa of failing to return personal items that he left in his old office and of unfairly implicating him in financial misconduct.
Blatter said he wants an admission that he has been “hurt” by Fifa.
“Both me and my family, my entire entourage, by saying that this guy was using (Fifa) like a piggybank. This is a question of honour,” Blatter said.
Blatter, who like Infantino is a Swiss national, remains the target of a criminal investigation in Switzerland, but the case has not yet come to court after nearly four years of investigation.
Blatter particularly disputes allegations by Fifa that he received a 12 million Swiss franc bonus following the 2014 World Cup.
He said his suit against Fifa and Infantino would be filed “before the end of the month.” (Goal)
