In a significant development, the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office has dropped all investigations against Confederation of African Football (CAF) Secretary General, Veron Mosengo-Omba, citing a lack of evidence and legal basis to initiate proceedings . This decision marks a major victory for CAF and African football as a whole.

The investigation, which was launched in February 2024, had cast a shadow over Mosengo-Omba’s tenure as Secretary General. However, with the Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office concluding that there is no case to answer, Mosengo-Omba has been cleared of all charges.

CAF has welcomed the decision, stating that it is pleased to see the organization’s commitment to ethics, transparency, and governance being upheld . This commitment, introduced during the presidency of Dr. Patrice Motsepe, has been a key focus area for CAF in recent years.

The news is a significant boost for African football, which has been working to improve its governance and reputation in recent years. With Mosengo-Omba cleared of all charges, CAF can now focus on its core mission of developing and promoting football in Africa.

The decision also highlights the importance of due process and the rule of law in football governance. By allowing the legal process to run its course, CAF and Mosengo-Omba have demonstrated their commitment to transparency and accountability.

As African football continues to grow and develop, the clearance of Mosengo-Omba is a significant step forward. With CAF’s leadership now able to focus on the future, the continent’s football fans can look forward to an exciting period of growth and development.
