FAF case: Verdict scheduled for October 27

The trial concerning the financial management of the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) between 2017 and 2023 concluded on Sunday at the Sidi M'hamed economic and financial penal court, with the verdict set for October 27. The case involves three former FAF presidents—Kheireddine Zetchi, Charaf-Eddine Amara, and Djahid Zefizef—along with former officials, staff, and contractors. The defendants face charges of embezzlement and abuse of office. Defense attorneys argued for acquittal, citing the General Assembly’s approval of financial statements, while the prosecution has requested prison sentences ranging from 5 to 10 years.
