UEFA's offices have been raided by Swiss police after Gianni Infantino became embroiled in the Panama Papers affair.

The FIFA president, along with European football's governing body, has been linked to individuals now accused of bribery.

Documents leaked from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca included a television rights contract bearing Infantino's signature.

He denies any wrongdoing but UEFA confirmed Swiss authorities raided their Nyon offices on Wednesday.

A statement read: "UEFA can confirm that today we received a visit from the office of the Swiss Federal Police acting under a warrant and requesting sight of the contracts between UEFA and Cross Trading/Teleamazonas.

"Naturally, UEFA is providing the Federal Police with all relevant documents in our possession and will cooperate fully."

Swiss authorities insist no specific individual was the target of the raid.

Hugo and Mariano Jinkis bought TV rights for the Champions League in 2006 as owners of Cross Trading before immediately selling them on for almost three times the price.

UEFA initially denied doing business with any of the 14 individuals indicted by the FBI, but has since changed its stance.

Infantino meanwhile, stated he was "dismayed" that his "integrity is being questioned".

Infantino was voted as FIFA president on February 26 and agreed to a reform package to address a variety of issues following the controversy surrounding Sepp Blatter's reign.

However, the governing body's troubled past continues to cast a shadow and provoke awkward questions.
