FIFA opens disciplinary proceedings against Congo FA officials

FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Congo Football Federation, FECOFOOT, officials over financial misconduct.

The world football governing body confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday.

FECOFOOT president, Jean-Guy Mayolas, is one of the key people that are facing allegations of financial misconduct.

Earlier this month, Mayolas was handed a life sentence alongside his wife and son by a criminal court in Brazzaville, the Congolese capital.

They were convicted of embezzling $1.1million of FIFA funds.

The investigations will also target the federation’s treasurer Raoul Kanda and general ‌secretary ⁠Wantete Badji.

“These proceedings follow the receipt of information and ⁠documents during an audit,” FIFA said in the statement.
