FIFA Executive to Investigate Corrupt Official
Corruption has erupted again with a prominent FIFA member.
His name is Constant Omari, a Congolese member of the FIFA Council, the body that replaced the former Executive Committee in a restructuring that followed a series of corruption scandals that rocked soccer’s governing body in 2015.
Omari was detained last week Tuesday in Kinshasa and held for 24 hours in a public prosecutor’s office in his country as part of a probe into embezzlement.
He is also the vice president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) aside from being the president of the DR Congo Football Association.
“FIFA is closely following the matter and gathering additional information but has no further statement to make at this stage,” FIFA said in a statement about the case.
