GENEVA
Fifa denied on Friday reports in German media that president Gianni Infantino was under investigation for a possible ethics violation.
Die Welt newspaper reported that Infantino had improperly ordered the destruction of the minutes of a Fifa executive committee meeting held at last month's congress in Mexico city.
Fifa spokeswoman Delia Fischer said the allegations were baseless.
"The email exchange that makes mention of the deletion of audio files refers to a copy of the original audio file of the meeting that was improperly stored on a local drive," she said.
"This mention does not refer to the officially archived audio file. That file exists and is properly saved at Fifa."
