CAF boss Ahmad Ahmad has been arrested at a hotel in Paris, where he was staying to attend the FIFA Congress according to sources.
Ahmad Ahmad was arrested on Thursday morning around 8:30 am at the Berri Hotel in Paris, to be heard by the services of the Central Office for the fight against corruption, financial and fiscal offences (Oclif), Jeune Afrique learned.
According to our information, this arrest would be linked to the contract unilaterally broken by CAF with the German equipment manufacturer Puma to engage with the company Technical Steel, based in La Seyne-sur-Mer.
A signing of a contract which, according to the former secretary general of the continental forum Amr Fahmy, was favored by the proximity between Ahmad Ahmad and one of the leaders of the French company, whose additional cost would reach 830 000 dollars (739 000 euros). "All decisions were made collegially" and "transparent," defended mid-April the boss of African football.Â
