Search begins for Mayolas as Congo requests Interpol arrest warrant
March 31 – Authorities in Republic of the Congo have turned to Interpol in a bid to locate and arrest Jean-Guy Blaise Mayolas, after the long-serving football chief was convicted of embezzling FIFA funds. Mayolas, who heads Fecofoot, was handed a life sentence earlier this month alongside members of his family after being found guilty of embezzling around $1.1m of FIFA funding – with the case largely relating to Covid-19 relief money distributed by world football’s governing body in 2021.
