FIFA president Gianni Infantino has told national association bosses he hopes “the facts emerge” around who made the anonymous complaints which have led to the opening of a criminal investigation against him.

Infantino has written to the world governing body’s member associations after the Swiss special federal public prosecutor opened criminal proceedings last week over meetings Infantino held with the country’s attorney general in 2016 and 2017.
