Congo : Perpétuité pour le président de la FECOFOOT, Jean Guy Blaise Lionel Mayolas

The verdict was handed down this Tuesday, March 10, 2026, in Brazzaville: Jean Guy Blaise Lionel Mayolas , president of the Congolese Football Federation (FECOFOOT), was sentenced to life imprisonment . The Criminal Court found him guilty of embezzlement of public funds and money laundering.

A financial scandal linked to Covid-19

The case, which has rocked the Congolese sports community, primarily concerns the opaque management of FIFA financial aid during the pandemic. Here are the key points of the investigation:

Amount diverted: More than one million dollars initially intended to support local football during the health crisis.
Charges: Embezzlement, money laundering, forgery and use of forged documents, illegal taking of interest and complicity.
Conviction in absentia: Mr. Mayolas did not appear at the hearing, and an arrest warrant was issued against him.

Other officials heavily sanctioned

The federation president is not the only one targeted by this historic verdict. The justice system has also struck his professional and family circle:
