The president of the Gabonese Football Federation (Fegafoot) has been charged in connection with the investigation into allegations of widespread sexual abuse in the country.
Pierre-Alain Mounguengui, re-elected as Fegafoot’s president for a third term on 16 April, was arrested last Thursday after being summoned by Gabon’s general directorate of counter-interference and military security after allegations published by the Guardian this month. After six days in custody, he was placed in pre-trial detention on Wednesday at the central prison in Libreville, a statement from Fegafoot confirmed.
