Legal disputes within the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) continue, with cases pending before German tribunals and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). In October 2023, Alexander Ratner sued Luciano Rossi, the Finnish Shooting Sport Federation, and Vesa Nissinen for defamation; the court ruled in Ratner's favor in November 2024, ordering Rossi, FITAV, and FSSF to acknowledge their statements were defamatory. Additionally, Wilhelm Grill, former ISSF Secretary General, is contesting his dismissal in a case set to be heard on October 1, 2025, and has appealed to CAS against an ISSF Ethics Commission ban. Rossi previously faced legal scrutiny in 2018 for conflict-of-interest.
