CAIRO: The Confederation of African Football has announced that the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office had found no reason to undertake legal proceedings for fraud against Veron Mosengo-Omba, the CAF general secretary.

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.

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

A CAF statement said: “CAF welcomes the decision of the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office and is pleased that there continues to be adherence and compliance within CAF and the CAF Secretariat, with the culture and commitment to ethics, transparency and governance that was introduced since the Presidency of Dr Patrice Motsepe.”
