The president of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) has said it is his “duty” to ensure the president of the Malian football federation (Femafoot) is released from prison, where he is being held after being accused of embezzling public funds and forgery, the Guardian can reveal.
In comments that may contravene Fifa’s code of ethics, Patrice Motsepe also said he and CAF were “consistently engaging” with authorities in Mali over how to get Mamatou Touré “out of jail”.
