FIFA files criminal complaint against viagogo

On 4 June 2018 FIFA filed a criminal complaint against viagogo AG with the public prosecutor’s office in Geneva. The complaint is based on a breach of the Swiss law on unfair competition which may result in criminal sanctions. As over the past months, FIFA has received numerous complaints from individuals, consumer protection bodies and other market players over the opaque and deceptive business conduct of viagogo AG, FIFA has decided to take such step as part of its efforts to protect the fans and prevent unauthorised ticket resales for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™.
