Christopher Steele's British-based company, Orbis Business Intelligence, uncovered corruption at international soccer's governing body, leading to the resignation of top officials, including president Sepp Blatter.

It's one thing to piss off Putin or Trump, but quite another to piss off the international football establishment.
He may have also been involved in sports doping by Russia and others. So he would be on their list.
Possibly, the Russians or other Eastern Europeans fed him disinformation in order destroy his credibility and his professional career. I'd think that Putin would be pretty pleased at how things have turned out.

I hope he stays safe.
