The BBC has broadcast a documentary on football in Africa, and it is also about a two-year investigation that has revealed that everything on this continent is controlled by bribery, which is common in the highest ranks.
The documentary “Numri 12” summarizes video footage with hidden camera hours, shown how football players, trainers, judges and top world football officials take bribes regularly.
Among the images is Kenyan liners Aden Marua, who was to be part of the 2018 World. He shows up taking a $600 bribe before a match.
After publishing part of the documentary, FIFA made it known that the liner in question was drawn to personal problems from the event.
Meanwhile, the president of the Ghana Federation of Football, Kyeshi Nantaki, himself is filmed taking a bribe of $650,000, which he quickly puts in a plastic bag.
Nantaki is a member of the FIFA Council, the highest body to run the organisation that controls world football.
