An international human rights group filed a complaint with the ethics committee of world soccer's governing body to look into FIFA President Gianni Infantino, accusing him of a possible breach of political neutrality.
FairSquare, based in London, which says its company promotes "systemic change and stops human rights abuses," filed an eight-page complaint with FIFA’s Ethics Committee over the organization's decision to give its inaugural Peace Prize to President Donald Trump, a decision that was met with swift condemnation.
“The award of a prize of this nature to a sitting political leader is in and of itself a clear breach of FIFA’s duty of neutrality,” FairSquare said in its complaint.
“If Mr. Infantino acted unilaterally and without any statutory authority, this should be considered an egregious abuse of power."
Opinion: Trump doesn't deserve peace prize, even FIFA's fake one
