The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Gloria Akuffo has indicated that she is yet to receive the final docket for the prosecution of any of the officials of the Ghana Football Association in the Anas expose.
She said the investigations are still ongoing that is why her office hasn’t affected any arrest yet.
’I have not received any docket for prosecution. It will be recalled that when the issues started, the CID started a probe”, she said on Rainbow Radio.
The investigative team of Anas Aremeyaw Anas bribed more than 70 referees, match commissioners, officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), officials of the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the Ministry of Sports with sums as low as GH¢300 to influence the award of red cards, yellow cards, penalties and visa deals in the expose.
The probe is still ongoing and when they forward anything to me, I will look at it,’’ she explained.
The President of the GFA, Mr. Kwasi Nyantakyi, was allegedly paid the highest amount of $65,000 for assuring the investors, who later turned out to be Anas’s team members, of his readiness to get them good sponsorship deals and juicy contracts in government.
Gloria Akuffo also clarified that it was not the intention to collapse the Ghana Football Association (GFA) as reported by the media. The government he stated engaged with the world governing body FIFA to find ways to address the challenges after the Number 12 was premiered.
The minister stressed, the state only took steps to prevent further damages and protect the interest of Ghana football.
