An investigation is underway against a UEFA referee on suspicion of sexual molestation of a minor.
This was reported by "The Sun".
According to the source, the unnamed referee came to the United Kingdom to officiate a match. At the hotel, he approached a minor boy and tried to lure him to his room.
The police detained the referee and later released him on bail. If formal charges are filed, the referee may be extradited to the United Kingdom.
UEFA stated that the situation is being monitored and the referee will not be appointed to matches. FIFA also announced that during the investigation period, he will not be involved in competitions under the organization's auspices./publika.az
