Zambian FA President charged with money laundering
The President of the Football Association of Zambia (Faz) has been arrested and charged with money laundering offences.
Andrew Kamanga was first elected as Football Association of Zambia president in 2016.
The country’s Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) alleges that Andrew Kamanga obtained government funds under false pretences and was part of a conspiracy to defraud.
The DEC says the 57-year-old used the money to fund trips for two associates to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast earlier this year.
Madalitso Kamanga and Jairous Siame, the two individuals who travelled to the tournament as part of Faz’s support staff have also been charged, along with Faz General Secretary, Reuben Kamanga.
An investigation revealed that neither Madalitso Kamanga nor Siame held official or executive positions within Faz.
