UEFA says it is taking legal action against a former Cypriot Football Association official who alleged the 2012 European Championship was corruptly awarded to Poland and Ukraine.
UEFA confirms it is acting against Spyros Marangos because he missed a Wednesday deadline to provide any evidence backing his claims.
Marangos claimed in a German newspaper that UEFA officials sold the tournament rights for 11 million euros ($15 million) in 2007. The eastern European neighbors defeated Italy 8-4 in a poll of UEFA executive committee members.
UEFA says it is not preparing to sue the newspaper.
