The economic and financial penal pole of the Sidi M’hamed court in Algiers has begun the trial regarding the management of the Algerian Football Federation (FAF). The case involves 19 defendants, including former FAF presidents Kheireddine Zetchi, Charef Eddine Amara, and Djahid Zefizef, alongside several former administrative staff. The charges relate to alleged financial and administrative irregularities, specifically regarding contracts with Adidas and the travel agency Concorde Voyage, as well as claims of undue benefits and misappropriation of public funds, all of which the defendants deny. Defense lawyers raised procedural objections, challenging the report from the General Inspectorate of Finance. The judge decided to incorporate these objections into the substantive examination of the case. The defendants testified, maintaining that they acted in accordance with regulations. Following five previous postponements, the proceedings continue as the court delves into the specifics of this high-profile case.
