Anas lied over $65,000 bribe - Kwesi Nyantakyi insists
7th February 2019
Embattled Former Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi says it is completely false the cash gift he allegedly accepted in the controversial documentary by Anas Aremeyaw Anas was $65,000.
Mr Nyantakyi is said to have collected the said amount from an undercover Tiger Eye PI reporter pretending to be a businessman.
Speaking for the first time after the exposé, the former FIFA council member insisted he was handed the sum of $40.000 and not $65,000 as claimed by Anas and his team.
“I am confirming to you that ,I received an amount of $40,000 and not $65,000 claimed by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, if he insists let him bring out the denominations “
Nyantakyi, who was one of African football's most powerful figures, has been slapped with a lifetime ban by FIFA for breaking bribery and corruption rules.
