CAF President, Ahmad Ahmad
Ahmad Ahmad, the President of the Confederation of Africa Football
has been accused of sexual harassment a day after he was released by the
French Police on Friday.
A public relations consultant from Mali, Mariam Diakite, told The
New York Times that she was fired by Ahmad for rejecting his advances.
Diakite, 34 said she had a confrontation with Ahmad in a hotel
suite during a conference she was hired to organise in Rabat, Morocco in
2017.
She stated that Ahmad informed her he was terminating her
appointment because he had informed officials that they were in a
romantic relationship and that it would be a conflict of interest if she
carried on working.
“He (Ahmad) was refusing to let me work because I refused to marry him,” Diakite was quoted as saying by The New York Times.
“When you are a president and you’ve got people whose dreams is
to work in football and you say, ‘come to my room and I will give you a
job.’ Is that not an abuse of power?”
Ahmad in his response to a question from The New York Times on the
incident with Diakite labelled her accusation as a ‘smear of
character.”
He also stated that the move is part of a personal vendetta against him being orchestrated by a former senior employee of CAF.
“They are lies,” Ahmad told The New York Times.
Also, a female British translator, whose identity is known to The
New York Times, but who spoke on the condition of anonymity, was said to
have been cornered by Ahmad at the same event in Rabat.
She said Ahmad had insisted that she accompany him to his room.
The British woman was hired to translate at the conference in Rabat
but quit immediately after the encounter with Ahmad and returned to
Britain, where she filed a complaint with the police in London.
Details of Ahmad’s conduct in Rabat in 2017 are part of a dossier
filed with FIFA’s ethics committee by Amr Fahmy, who had been the No.2
official under Ahmad until he was ousted this year.
Meanwhile, FIFA has revealed that it would not comment on any of the allegations levelled against Ahmad.
