SportsInfantino under fire as viral claims drag European Parliament into FIFA row

Viral posts that have attracted millions of views falsely say the European Parliament has opened an investigation into FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The action actually began with a letter from 72 members of the European Parliament to European Union football associations. They urged the associations to seek a formal FIFA review of the controversial reversal of Balogun’s red card. No parliamentary probe has been launched, but the episode adds to mounting scrutiny of FIFA’s president.
