Qatar Spied On Ex Top Swiss Prosecutor Probing FIFA: Report
Qatar spied on a former Swiss attorney general and bugged his secret meeting with the FIFA chief, amid fears it could be stripped of hosting the 2022 World Cup, media reported Sunday. An intelligence operation commissioned by Qatar bugged an informal meeting six years ago between Switzerland's top prosecutor at the time Michael Lauber and FIFA chief Gianni Infantino, the NZZ am Sonntag weekly reported. The paper said its months-long investigation had revealed that the covert meeting in Bern on June 16, 2017, which after it was revealed cost Lauber his job, had been secretly recorded on behalf of the wealthy Gulf state.
