PSG president charged in FIFA bribery scandal

Swiss federal prosecutors have charged Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser al-Khelaifi in connection with a bribery investigation linked to World Cup television rights. Al-Khelaifi also has a role within UEFA.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that investigations relating to the awarding of 2026 and 2030 World Cup rights to Qatari broadcaster BeIN Sports have resulted in charges being laid against Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser al-Khelaifi.

Instead, the office of Switzerland's attorney general filed an indictment charging Al-Khelaifi with inciting former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke "to commit aggravated criminal mismanagement".

FIFA reached an "amicable agreement" with the PSG president last month, dropping its criminal complaint against the 46-year-old.
