EXPLICIT! Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper coach releases statement after Raja Casablanca sacking over an explicit video
Ilyes Mzoughi has released a statement in response to his Raja Casablanca sacking over an explicit online video.
The former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper coach was sacked by the Moroccan giants barely two weeks into the job after rejoining Nasredine Nabi's technical team over the video.
Ilyes Mzoughi, who left Chiefs at the end of the previous Betway Premiership season, has come to out to defend himself.
“Four years ago, I was the target of an extortion attempt. Individuals threatened to publish what I maintain is a fabricated video created using Artificial Intelligence (Al) and demanded approximately USD 20,000 in exchange for not releasing it. I refused to give in to this blackmail or any form of intimidation," said the coach via statement published on iDiskiTimes.
“Yesterday, four years later, that video-which I maintain is fabricated using Artificial Intelligence (AI) — was published in an attempt to damage my reputation, tarnish my image, and harm my professional career.
I categorically reject all false allegations associated with this video.
"I have already initiated legal proceedings and will pursue legal action against everyone involved in attempting to extort me, as well as anyone who published, republished, promoted, or knowingly contributed to spreading this content.
“I will not give up my rights and will continue to pursue this case until the truth is fully established and justice is served. I respectfully ask everyone not to spread rumors or share unverified content, and to respect the truth and the legal process.
“I sincerely thank everyone who has stood by me and supported me during this difficult time. I pray that the truth will prevail and that justice will be done. GOD IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME, AND HE IS THE BEST DISPOSER OF ALL AFFAIRS.”
