Eto’o faces Cameroon probe over alleged Russia payment

Former Chelsea and Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o is currently the subject of an investigation in Cameroon over allegations of financial misappropriation as the president of the Cameroon Football Federation, FECAFOOT. The Association of Amateur Football Clubs of Cameroon (ACFAC) has initiated a formal inquiry into FECAFOOT and Eto’o following reports of alleged financial irregularities, specifically accusing the Russian Football Union (RFU) of breaching contractual agreements by depositing €567,000 into an unregistered bank account.

ACFAC has declared its intention to pursue legal action against Eto’o through the Cameroonian judicial system, as well as filing a complaint in Russia against the RFU. Despite these allegations, Eto’o maintains his innocence and has endorsed FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
