欧洲足球总联（UEFA）已向国际足联（FIFA）发送一份包含42个问题的清单，要求就国际足联主席吉安尼·因凡蒂诺与特朗普家族的商业往来以及世界杯出售尝试所涉嫌的“利益冲突”作出解释。
European football chiefs have sent a list of 42 questions to FIFA, demanding answers about Gianni Infantino's alleged "conflicts of interest" over business dealings with the Trump family and the World Cup sell-off attempt.
天空新闻（Sky News）今日获得了UEFA秘书长西奥多·西奥多里迪斯（Theodore Theodoridis）致国际足联的信件。此前，上周在世界足球理事会会议上，UEFA未能获得因凡蒂诺的答复。
Sky News has obtained the letter from UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis to FIFA today after failing to receive the answers sought from Mr Infantino in a meeting of world football's council last week. UEFA writes: "A series of decisions, transactions and interventions involving the FIFA President, the President of the United States and individuals associated with him raise serious questions concerning potential conflicts of interest, transparency and institutional accountability."
UEFA在信中写道：“一系列涉及国际足联主席、美国总统及其关联人士的决定、交易和干预，引发了对潜在利益冲突、透明度和机构问责制的严重质疑。”信中特别指出，因凡蒂诺与特朗普及其助手就创建国际足联加密货币的讨论，正如天空新闻今年2月所揭露的那样。UEFA还要求就以下事项作出解释：🞗 特朗普在世界杯期间致电因凡蒂诺，此前美国前锋福拉林·巴洛贡（Folarin Balogun）的红牌禁令被解除；🞗 与约书亚·库什纳（Joshua Kushner）——特朗普女婿贾里德·库什纳（Jared Kushner）的兄弟——合作，将20%的世界杯赛事出售给私人投资者；🞗 在未获国际足联理事会批准的情况下，为特朗普设立国际足联和平奖；🞗 租用特朗普大厦办公室，尽管UEFA称这些办公室全年大部分时间闲置，但七年租金高达400万美元；🞗 在特朗普2月份和平委员会会议期间宣布向巴勒斯坦投资7500万美元，但未获国际足联理事会或财务委员会批准；🞗 与一家据称与唐纳德·特朗普 Jr.（小唐纳德·特朗普）有关联的体育预测公司安排世界杯赞助；🞗 特朗普的女儿和孙子参与2025年俱乐部世界杯抽签。
It highlights concerns about Mr Infantino's discussions with Mr Trump and associates over the creation of a FIFA cryptocurrency, as Sky News revealed in February UEFA also seeks answers on: 🞗 Mr Trump's call to Mr Infantino before US striker Folarin Balogun's red-card ban was lifted at the World Cup; 🞗 Working with Joshua Kushner - the brother of Mr Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner - on selling 20% of the World Cups to private investors; 🞗 Creating a FIFA Peace Prize for Mr Trump without the FIFA Council's approval; 🞗 Leasing offices in Trump Tower that UEFA claims are unused for much of the year despite costing $4m over seven years; 🞗 Announcing a $75m investment in Palestine during Mr Trump's Board of Peace meeting in February without the FIFA Council or finance committee's approval; 🞗 Arranging a World Cup sponsorship with a sports prediction company with reported links to Donald Trump Jr; 🞗 Mr Trump's daughter and grandson being involved in the 2025 Club World Cup draw.
UEFA对国际足联表示：“这些问题综合起来，所提出的质疑已超出国际足联与世界杯举办国政府之间的普通机构关系范畴。”
UEFA said to FIFA: "These matters, taken together, raise questions that extend beyond the ordinary institutional relationship between FIFA and the government of a World Cup host country.
“FIFA能否对这些安排和干预提供详细说明，包括所遵循的决策过程、潜在利益冲突的识别和管理、对FIFA的财务影响，以及有关FIFA主管机构被告知或咨询的程度？” UEFA还要求对因欧洲发起的反对行动而被婴诺放弃的世界杯出售事件进行“真正独立的调查”。
"Could FIFA provide a detailed explanation of these arrangements and interventions, including the decision-making processes followed, the identification and management of any potential conflicts of interest, the financial implications for FIFA and the extent to which the competent FIFA bodies were informed or consulted?" UEFA is also seeking a "genuinely independent investigation" into the World Cup sell-off that was abandoned by Mr Infantino after a backlash led by Europe.
UEFA表示：“继续回避进行此类调查的态度，不仅会削弱其成员协会对FIFA透明度和治理的信心，也会削弱全球球员、教练和球迷的信心。”
UEFA said: "The continued reluctance to undertake such an investigation risks further undermining confidence in FIFA's transparency and governance, not only among its MAs but also among players, coaches and supporters worldwide.
“这些担忧必然动摇我们对FIFA主席个人动机和领导力的信任，进而影响他未来团结各成员协会的能力。” UEFA希望将婴诺赶下台，但截至目前尚未为3月的FIFA主席选举提出候选人，截止日期还有一个月。FIFA方面暂无回应。
"These concerns inevitably undermine our trust placed in the FIFA President's personal motivation and leadership and therefore his ability to unite our associations going forward." UEFA wants Mr Infantino toppled from power but is yet to put forward a candidate for the FIFA presidential election in March, with the deadline a month away. There was no immediate response from FIFA.
