Uefa offices raided over ‘Panama Papers’ link

Swiss police raided the headquarters of the European football body Uefa in Nyon to gather information about a contract reportedly signed by former Uefa official Gianni Infantino, now head of global football body Fifa.

“Uefa can confirm that today we received a visit from the office of the Swiss Federal Police acting under a warrant and requesting sight of the contracts between Uefa and Cross Trading/Teleamazonas.

“Naturally, Uefa is providing the federal police with all relevant documents in our possession and will co-operate fully,” it said.
