Swiss attorney general faces disciplinary steps over soccer probe - report
Lauber has put on record two meetings with current FIFA president Gianni Infantino, saying they were intended to help coordinate his investigation. But media reports of a third meeting prompted a preliminary investigation by the Supervisory Authority for the Office of the Attorney General, which said Lauber had denied having any other such meetings while in office.
The Authority declined comment ahead of a statement due later on Friday. Lauber, who later said he did not recall the third meeting but that it must have occurred, scheduled a news conference for 1330 GMT. The Swiss parliament is due to decide next month whether to re-appoint Lauber to his position. (Reporting by Brenna Hughes Neghaiwi; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
