GENEVA, March 12 — Qatar spied on a former Swiss attorney general and bugged his secret meeting with the FIFA chief, amid fears it could be stripped of hosting the 2022 World Cup, media reported today.
Qatar had denied the allegations, while Lauber’s lawyer told the paper his client was not aware of being spied on, and had not been blackmailed. The meeting was held at the luxury Hotel Schweizerhof, which has been run by Qatari owners since 2009, in a conference room located in the same corridor as the Qatari embassy, NZZ pointed out.
