The general secretary of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) has been investigated over allegations of dishonest management, fraud and forgery of documents in a case that prosecutors warn could “seriously tarnish Switzerland’s reputation”.
Véron Mosengo-Omba, who is also under investigation by Caf over claims of serious misconduct, has been accused of making a series of suspicious payments to Swiss bank accounts. He has denied the claims, which were revealed on Wednesday by a public disclosure from the Federal Criminal Court (FCC) of Switzerland.
