Eto'o's FECAFOOT Accused of Hush Money Payments to Legends: Milla in the Spotlight

Milla's Murky Silence

The report centers on the silence of football legend Roger Milla during a recent clash between FECAFOOT and the Ministry of Sports (MINSEP). Milla, a vocal critic of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) when it investigated Eto'o, has remained strangely quiet in this internal dispute.

Silence for Hire?

Bertolt's investigation claims Milla receives a hefty 50 million FCFA annually from FECAFOOT, with the first payment documented in 2022. These payments allegedly came with full expense-covered trips to sporting events and Milla's silence on Eto'o's leadership.

More Than Milla?

The report further alleges that Patrick Mboma, another football legend, also receives a similar 50 million FCFA annual sum in exchange for his ambassadorship and, presumably, his silence.

Financial Concerns

The report paints a contrasting picture. While these legends are allegedly well-compensated, FECAFOOT is accused of neglecting other pressing financial obligations, leaving clubs, employees, and suppliers struggling.

Is it Hush Money?

The report strongly implies that these payments are a form of "hush money" to secure the silence and potentially the public support of football icons.

Murky Waters and Unanswered Questions

This report raises serious questions about the financial transparency of FECAFOOT under Eto'o's leadership. It is important to note that these are allegations, and Bertolt's claims require further investigation and comment from FECAFOOT officials. Cameroonian football fans deserve transparency regarding the use of federation funds, particularly when legends like Milla and Mboma are involved.
