Former Chelsea and Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o is under investigation by the Association of Amateur Football Clubs of Cameroon (ACFAC) over allegations of financial misappropriation. ACFAC claims Eto’o unlawfully obtained a payment of approximately €567,000 ($655,000) from the Russian Football Union (RFU) following a friendly international match in October 2023.
The RFU allegedly breached its contractual agreement with FECAFOOT, the Cameroon Football Federation, by depositing the money into a bank account not registered to the organisation. ACFAC intends to take legal action against Eto’o through the Cameroonian judicial system, and has also filed a complaint in Russia against the RFU. Despite the allegations, Eto’o maintains his innocence, stating he has committed no wrongdoing.
