An alleged victim of sexual abuse in Gabon has questioned why Fifa and the Confederation of African Football have still not suspended the president of the country’s football association while they continue to investigate claims that he failed to report “crimes of paedophilia”.

Pierre-Alain Mounguengui is awaiting trial in Gabon after spending almost six months in police custody last year. He could face up to three years in prison if found guilty of not reporting to Gabon’s authorities alleged sexual abuse in the country by a number of coaches, after allegations first made in the Guardian.
