Kwesi Nyantakyi to fights for further reduction of 15-year ban-Reports
According to Sources close to former Ghana FA President Kwesi Nyantakyi indicates that the ex-CAF Vice President is determined to fight on until FIFA scraps and lifts the ban imposed on him for alleged ethical breaches in the discharge of his duties.
This comes after the lifetime ban imposed on Kwesi Nyantakyi by Fifa was reduced to 15 years after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
Ex GFA boss who was regarded as one of the most powerful football administrators in the world at the time was banned for life by Fifa in October 2018 for breaking bribery and corruption rules.
He was filmed taking $65,000 from an undercover reporter.
“Kwesi Nyantakyi is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity at national and international level for a period of 15 years, commencing on 29 October 2018,” Cas told BBC Sport Africa.
The film of Nyantakyi taking $65,000 was captured by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and BBC Africa’s investigations unit, Africa Eye, received exclusive access to the footage.
Nyantakyi was pictured placing the “shopping money” into a black plastic bag from an undercover reporter pretending to be a businessman keen to invest in Ghanaian football.
Nyantakyi has claimed the footage was doctored to falsely incriminate him.
