FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended the controversial decision to replace the soccer body’s former ethics leaders, saying the ousted duo had failed in their task of identifying those responsible for the biggest corruption scandal in the organization’s history.
Chief investigator Cornel Borbely and adjudicatory chamber head Hans-Joachim Eckert were told on Wednesday their contracts wouldn’t be renewed. They responded by saying they still had hundreds of corruption cases ongoing that would now take years to deal with, leading to mounting criticism of Infantino.
Borbely and Eckert dispute that they overcharged for their work. They also said they took down major figures for wrongdoing years before the U.S. indictments were published.
