According to the Guardian, a complaint has been filed with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) calling for an investigation into claims that a housekeeper for Fifa president Gianni Infantino and his wife at their Miami residence was compensated through a Fifa-affiliated entity. If proven, the allegations could threaten Fifa's tax-exempt status in the US, where it is registered as an organization for charitable and educational purposes. The complaint was submitted by lawyer Abed Ayoub. A Fifa spokesperson denied the claims, stating that costs for domestic staff are met personally by the president, and characterized the report as part of a concerted effort to undermine the organization. Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter also criticized Infantino in an interview with Der Spiegel, citing his management style and controversial decisions.
