Surveillance body concludes attorney-general breached professional obligations
Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber attends a news conference after its department's watchdog investigation on his private meetings with Fifa president Gianni Infantino, in Bern, Switzerland, in this May 10 2019 file photo.
The investigators said Lauber had illegally interfered with their probe, and lamented that he had made clear he “sees nothing problematic in his actions, indicating a poor comprehension of his profession”. The disciplinary hearing looked into a series of secret meetings Lauber had with Fifa president Gianni Infantino in the midst of a corruption probe into football’s world governing body.
But during the inquiry into those two meetings, Lauber told the oversight body he had had no other informal contacts with Infantino, something that turned out not to be the case.“The attorney-general has repeatedly not told the truth to the AS-MPC, to parliament and to the public about his meeting on June 16, 2017 with the president of Fifa, Gianni Infantino. It has been proven that this meeting took place,” it said.
