Earlier this year, an investigation was launched against Lauber, who was previously Switzerland's Federal Prosecutor General, on suspicion of several secret meetings with Infantino. Lauber was accused, among other things, of having helped Infantino with a television rights investigation in 2016.
On Friday last week, a federal court in Switzerland announced that the charges were upheld. After that, the 54-year-old chose to resign from his post.
