Ahmad Ahmad, the president of Confederation of African Football (CAF) has been arrested at a hotel in Paris on Thursday morning.
According to reports, the arrest was as a result of his alleged connection with a “contract unilaterally broken by CAF with German equipment manufacturer Puma to engage with the company Technical Steel, based in La Seyne-sur-Mer.”
African weekly newspaper Jeune Afrique claims the CAF president was staying in France, where he was meant to attend a FIFA Congress.
Ehohotblog understands that Ahmad signed off on a deal, which benefitted the company Technical Steel, with one of the company’s bosses said to have paid a total of €739 000 (R12,3 million) to the CAF president in order to get the deal sanctioned.
It is believed that the case involving CAF’s President will be heard by the services of the central office for the fight against corruption and financial and fiscal offences (OCLIF).
