Perezida w’Ishyirahamwe ry’umupira w’amaguru muri Repubulika ya Congo (Fecofoot), Jean-Guy Blaise Mayolas, arashinjwa kunyereza amafaranga agera kuri miliyoni $1.3 y’amadolari y’Amerika (angana na miliyoni 1.6 z’amadolari ya Australia), harimo arenga $500,000 yari agenewe guteza imbere umupira w’amaguru w’abagore muri icyo gihugu.
Mayolas ashobora gukurikiranwa ku byaha byo koza amafaranga binyuranyije n’amategeko ndetse no guhimba inyandiko, nyuma yo guhamagarwa ngo yitabe urukiko muri Brazzaville muri iki cyumweru. Yatawe muri yombi mu mpera za Gicurasi n’ishami rishinzwe iperereza n’iperereza ryihariye (CID) rikorera muri Minisiteri y’Ubutegetsi bw’Igihugu.
Mayolas hamwe na Umunyamabanga Mukuru wa Fecofoot, Badji Mombo Wantete, bose bahakanye ibyo bashinjwa babivuga nk’“ikinyoma gishingiye ku migambi mibisha”.
Ibyo baregwa birimo gukoresha amasosiyete y’ikirenga (shell companies) mu kunyereza amafaranga yagenwe n’impuzamashyirahamwe y’umupira w’amaguru ku isi, FIFA. Amakuru yatanzwe n’abayobozi b’amakipe yose y’abagore bakina mu cyiciro cya mbere muri Congo, bandikiye inzego za leta muri Werurwe, agaragaza ko muri $500,000 yoherejwe na FIFA muri 2021 mu rwego rwa gahunda yo kugoboka imikino mu gihe cya Covid-19, hagenewe gusa $20,000 zageze ku makipe.
Mayolas kandi arashinjwa no kunyereza $800,000 yagombaga gukoreshwa mu kubaka Ikigo cy’igihugu cy’amahugurwa y’umupira w’amaguru kiri Ignié, kitigeze kirangira kuva cyatangira kubakwa mu myaka umunani ishize, kikaba kiri mu bwangare bukabije.
“Amadolari yose yafashwe, nta gikorwa na kimwe kiri kuhakorerwa,” nk’uko byatangajwe n’umuntu utifuje gutangazwa amazina. “Hashize igihe kirekire abantu batumva aho ayo mafaranga yarengeye.”
Ubwo The Guardian yageragezaga kubaza Mayolas na Wantete, ntabwo bigeze basubiza.
Si ubwa mbere aba bagabo bagiranye ibibazo na FIFA. Muri 2015, Mayolas na Wantete bahagaritswe amezi atandatu na FIFA nyuma yo guhamwa n’icyaha cyo “gutanga no kwakira impano n’inyungu zitemewe”, icyo gihe Mayolas yari Visi Perezida wa Fecofoot.
Muri Gashyantare 2025, Minisiteri y’Ubuzima bw’Imikino yahagaritse Mayolas ku nshingano ze kubera iperereza ryakorwaga ku byaha bya ruswa. Gusa, FIFA yaje kwivanga, ihagarika igihugu cya Congo mu marushanwa mpuzamahanga kubera ibyo yise “kwivanga kw’abanyapolitiki mu mikorere y’umupira w’amaguru”.
Ibi byatumye muri Werurwe, Congo yamburwa amanota mu mikino yo gushaka itike ya World Cup, aho Tanzania na Zambia bahise bahabwa intsinzi ya 3-0 kuri buri mukino. Congo yasubijwe mu marushanwa muri Gicurasi nyuma y’uko Fecofoot yongera kwemererwa gukorera mu cyicaro cyayo i Brazzaville. Ariko, Mayolas na Wantete babujijwe kujya mu nama rusange ya FIFA yabereye muri Paraguay, ndetse nyuma y’iyo nama bahise batabwa muri yombi.
Amakuru yizewe avuga ko bamwe mu bagize Komite y’Imyitwarire ya FIFA basuye Congo muri Werurwe bagamije gukora iperereza ku birego bya Mayolas, ariko kugeza ubu ntibaratangira iperereza ku mugaragaro. FIFA yanze kugira icyo ivuga kuri ibyo birego.
