“The Swiss Prosecutor’s Office has decided to end investigations into Veron Mosengo-Omba, secretary general of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), in the apparent absence of grounds to open an investigation.” The announcement was made by CAF on its website while specifying that in “November 2024, Veron Mosengo-Omba traveled of his own free will to Fribourg, Switzerland, to answer questions related to preliminary investigations. » The Secretary General of the African Confederation was the subject of an investigation by Swiss justice for alleged acts of financial embezzlement. The investigation targeting Veron Mosengo-Omba, who has dual Congolese and Swiss nationality, was opened in the canton of Friborg (west). Initially, the general secretary of the CAF assured X that the bank transfers targeted by the investigation are “legitimate and traceable”, that they “were carried out in complete transparency” and that they correspond to “ salaries and bonuses” that he has received from the African Confederation since he held the position of secretary general. With the end of the investigation, the “CAF welcomes the decision taken by the Swiss Prosecutor’s Office” while highlighting “the culture of ethics, transparency and governance, established under the presidency by Dr Patrice Motsepe”.
