UEFA reportedly paid a six-figure compensation to an employee following allegations of dismissal involving Gianni Infantino, during his tenure as the organization’s general secretary. The payment, as reported by the British newspaper The Telegraph, took place while Infantino was employed by the governing body of European football. The article detailed that the employee had been promoted to a director role before her departure, a move that reportedly increased her salary by 30 percent, bringing it to approximately 170,000 euros.
This alleged sequence of events occurred while the professional relationship was still active. Further reports indicated that the former UEFA president, Michel Platini, had confronted Infantino concerning the relationship. This confrontation allegedly led to the employee accepting departure from the organization in exchange for compensation.
The details surrounding the compensation paid by UEFA remain a subject of reporting, linking the payment to the circumstances of the employee’s exit. While Gianni Infantino now leads FIFA, the reported compensation was disbursed during his time working for UEFA. The incident highlights professional conduct within the European football governance structure.
