The brewing legal dispute between Samuel Eto'o and journalist Jean Bruno Tagne, over the book titled « L’Arnaque » loosely translated as "The Scam," has taken a new turn with Haman Mana, the director of Schabel Publishing House, stepping into the fray.

In response to Eto'o's intention to file a complaint against those involved in the creation of the book, Mana has made it clear that his publishing house is ready to address any legal actions.

Mana's statement, made on March 5, 2024, emphasizes the readiness of Editions du Schabel to handle any complaints related to the publication of "The Scam." By providing the location of his publishing house, Mana signals his willingness to cooperate with legal proceedings and facilitate the filing of complaints against his company if necessary.

The publication of "The Scam," dedicated on February 14, 2024, has stirred controversy by offering a critical assessment of Samuel Eto'o's management of the Cameroonian football federation. Eto'o, through his representatives, has expressed outrage at what he perceives as false allegations that tarnish his reputation and undermine his dignity.

The legal battle ahead promises to be contentious, as Eto'o seeks to defend his image and reputation against perceived attacks, while Tagne and those associated with the book contend with accusations of defamation and libel.

As the dispute unfolds, it underscores the importance of freedom of expression and the responsibility of journalists and publishers to uphold ethical standards in their reporting. While Eto'o may feel aggrieved by the contents of "The Scam," the legal process will ultimately determine the merits of his complaints and the extent to which they are upheld in a court of law.
