Congo FA President Jean-Guy Blaise Mayolas Declared Wanted After Fleeing Ahead of Trial

The president of FECOFOOT, Jean-Guy Blaise Mayolas, has reportedly fled the Republic of the Congo alongside his wife and son ahead of their court trial over alleged financial misconduct.

Mayolas and his family are accused of embezzling $1.1 million from funds provided by FIFA as part of its COVID-19 relief program in February 2021.

According to reliable sources, the case proceeded despite their absence, with the court delivering a guilty verdict in absentia.

Following the ruling, authorities moved quickly to escalate the matter by issuing international arrest warrants through Interpol, as efforts continue to locate and apprehend Mayolas and his family.
