CAF General Secretary Mosengo-Omba Cleared Of Fraud Allegations

The Confederation of African Football CAF said on Thursday that the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office will not initiate legal proceedings against CAF General Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba after finding no basis to do so.

Mosengo-Omba had been under investigation for alleged suspicious payments involving Swiss bank accounts, as disclosed last September by the Federal Criminal Court of Switzerland.

He denied any wrongdoing and met with the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office in November to answer questions relating to the preliminary investigation.

CAF says it welcomes the decision of the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office and is pleased that there is adherence and compliance within its Secretariat, with the culture and commitment to ethics, transparency and governance that was introduced since the Presidency of Patrice Motsepe

Mosengo-Omba formerly worked at FIFA before taking over as CAF’s general secretary four years ago
