The Swiss judiciary appointed a special prosecutor to investigate links between Gianni Infantin, the current president of the International Federation (FIFA) and the cantonal prosecutor in the Canton of Valais, as part of Football Leaks. According to the European Association for Research Cooperation (EIC), which brings together European newspapers, "Invitations" Rinaldo Arnold, the first lawyer in Upper Valais, would be rewarded by the head of the court at the 2018 World Cup in Russia or May 2016 for the FIFA Congress in Mexico and at the end of 2016 of the League of Champions League Milan.

Office of the public prosecutor "He decided to entrust the special prosecutor with the task of accurately establishing the facts and determining whether they would be subject to criminal law or not". During the investigation, Arnold will retain his post, said Public Prosecutor Valais.

The EIC argues that the electronic exchange, in which lawyer Arnold thanked Infant for admission to family members and offered to the current FIFA chief when he was only the number two UEFA, called the Swiss Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, or whether it was the subject of a panamanian investigation.
