Kirkland & Ellis US partner and FIFA independent ethics investigator Michael Garcia has resigned in protest at how football’s governing body handled his report into the bidding processes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Garcia (pictured), who chaired the investigatory chamber of FIFA’s ethics committee, announced his resignation from the committee earlier today (17 December), slamming FIFA and accusing the body of a “lack of leadership” at the top.
