The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has confirmed that the Swiss public prosecutor’s office will not initiate legal proceedings against its general secretary, Veron Mosengo-Omba, after an investigation into allegations of dishonest management, fraud and forgery of documents.
Mosengo-Omba had denied the claims, which were revealed by a public disclosure from the federal criminal court of Switzerland in October, and met with the Swiss public prosecutor’s office in November to answer questions relating to the preliminary investigation. He said on social media that the payments related to “remuneration and bonus” he had received from Caf since becoming general secretary and that they were made in “full transparency” and “full compliance with Caf statutes”.
