La CAF éclaboussée par un scandale financier : Des fonds virés sur le compte personnel d’un dirigeant
New zone of turbulence for the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Already weakened by several controversies linked to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the institution is now at the heart of a case of financial payments deemed irregular to the benefit of a federal official.
According to revelations by Sport News Africa, a total of approximately $27,000 was allegedly transferred directly to the personal account of Jean-Guy Blaise Mayolas, president of the Congolese Football Federation (Fecofoot). The two transfers, estimated at $1,985 and $24,985 respectively, were reportedly made after the bank details initially associated with the federation had been changed.
The events reportedly date back to a period prior to Mayolas' conviction in absentia for money laundering and embezzlement in his country. Having lost FIFA funding following an unfavorable financial audit, the executive allegedly turned to CAF for support intended for Fecofoot employees.
However, according to the same sources, no formal justification was provided to frame these transfers, raising serious questions about the internal control mechanisms of the body chaired by Patrice Motsepe.
Currently on the run and subject to an international arrest warrant, Jean-Guy Blaise Mayolas is also under investigation by FIFA's Ethics Committee, as are other officials of the Congolese federation.
This new case has reignited criticism of governance and transparency within African football.
