Ghanas ex football chief charged with fraud

You're referring to the recent news about Kwesi Nyantakyi, the former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Kwesi Nyantakyi was charged with fraud and corruption by the Ghanaian authorities in June 2019. The charges were brought after an investigation into allegations of corruption and bribery made by the Ghanaian government.

Nyantakyi was accused of using his position to solicit bribes from investors who wanted to partner with the GFA. He was also accused of using the association's funds for personal gain.

The charges against Nyantakyi were brought under the country's Public Procurement Act and the Criminal Offences Act. If convicted, he could face up to 25 years in prison.

Nyantakyi was also banned from all football-related activities by FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in June 2019.

The scandal surrounding Nyantakyi's alleged corruption led to a major crisis in Ghanaian football, with many calling for reforms to be implemented to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

It's worth noting that Nyantakyi has denied any wrongdoing and has claimed that the allegations against him are politically motivated. However, the Ghanaian authorities have maintained that the investigation was conducted fairly and that the evidence against Nyantakyi is strong.

The case against Nyantakyi is ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be. However, the scandal has already had a significant impact on Ghanaian football, and it's likely to continue to be a major topic of discussion in the coming months.
