Sierra Leone's Anti-Corruption Commission to fight Isha Johansen acquittal

Sierra Leone’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will fight the recent acquittal of Sierra Leone Football Association President Isha Johansen.

The initial corruption charges against Johansen and general secretary Christopher Kamara were about an alleged misappropriation of US$50,000 given to the SLFA by Caf for covering costs of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Tests on 30 players for the U17 team in 2014.

Those charges were dropped after Justice Reginal Finn ruled that the prosecution had failed to establish their case against the duo and that there was no evidence before him to hold the accused culpable.
