Infantino's Swiss meetings spark quick rebuke from predecessor

LAUSANNE - Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter called for an investigation into his successor Gianni Infantino, after Switzerland's attorney general admitted meeting the current boss of world soccer's governing body.

The attorney general, Michael Lauber, told journalists on Wednesday that his meetings with current FIFA boss Infantino were "normal and regular, especially in complex cases".

The Football Leaks website alleges that Infantino offered favors to a senior Swiss prosecutor, Rinaldo Arnold, in a bid to foster a relationship with Lauber, possibly to obtain privileged information about the FIFA probe.
