Fifa has strongly criticised what it calls a "concerted and ongoing effort" to "undermine" the organisation and its president Gianni Infantino.
The statement follows a Daily Telegraph report which claimed Infantino's alleged lover was given a severance payment by Uefa after he had an affair while he was its general secretary.
Fifa hit out at "unsubstantiated ******* ertions and demonstrably false claims", adding that "speculation and insinuation should not be presented as fact".
Infantino has come under increasing pressure from Uefa and European football ******* ociations over his aborted Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal.
FFE would have meant a new company being created to manage commercial and ticketing rights, with 21% sold off to a private investment company.
