The Kerala government is considering an anti-corruption inquiry into a plan to host a football match featuring Lionel Messi under the previous administration, after the state sports department submitted an inquiry report to Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan.
The state sports minister said he handed over the report to the chief minister for further action, claiming it documents a series of grave violations connected to the proposed Argentina football match. The match was planned during the tenure of the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.
The current United Democratic Front (UDF) government is now weighing whether to launch a formal anti-corruption investigation based on the report's findings. No further details about the alleged violations have been made public.
