Swiss police raids UEFA Offices over Panama paper scandal



Swiss police have raided UEFA's offices after its former secretary general and now FIFA president Gianni Infantino became embroiled in the Panama Papers scandal. Documents leaked from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca included a television rights contract bearing his signature. Mr Infantino, in his former role as UEFA director of legal services, co-signed the contract in 2006 with two businessmen who have since been caught up in football's corruption case, according to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists analysing the 11 million leaked files. The 46-year-old Swiss-Italian said he is "dismayed" and "will not accept" his integrity is being doubted.
