IRS complaint filed over claims Fifa president's housekeeper was on payroll

A complaint has been filed with the United States Internal Revenue Service regarding claims that an individual working privately as a housekeeper for Fifa president Gianni Infantino and his wife at their Miami residence was receiving compensation or benefits through a Fifa-affiliated entity. The filing argues that senior leadership abused the organization's tax-exempt status if organizational funds or resources were used to pay for services benefiting a leader's household. If the IRS investigates and finds the claims to be proven, Fifa could potentially lose its US tax-exempt status. Fifa holds a 501(c)(4) status in the country, which is a category designated for organizations created to promote community welfare for charitable, educational, or recreational purposes. In response to the situation, a Fifa spokesperson stated that matters related to the president's personal and home life are private, and emphasized that the costs of any domestic staff are met personally by the Fifa president.
