The Confederation of African Football has launched an internal investigation into allegations of serious misconduct by its general secretary, Véron Mosengo-Omba, the Guardian has learned.
An emergency meeting held by the Caf president, Patrice Motsepe, with its executive committee on Tuesday – described by senior sources as tense – is understood to have included discussion of claims made in a report by its head of governance, risk and compliance (GRC). The report is believed to have been submitted several months ago but its details were only revealed at Tuesday’s meeting.
