The Referees Association of Ghana (RAG) has suspended 74 Referees, Assistants Referees and Retired Referees whose names came up in the recent Anas Aremeyaw Anas exposé.
In a press release signed and issued by Kwao Sampson, Deputy General Secretary of RAG, the Referees, Assistants Referees and Retired Referees are provisionally suspended pending the final determination of their case by the Disciplinary Committee of RAG.
It could be recall that Anas Aremeyaw Anas in his latest documentary captured the GFA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi and other football officials in his incriminating evidence confirming corruption in the football industry.
The video which was premiered across the country dubbed ‘Number 12’ was compiled by internationally acclaimed investigated Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, and his Tiger Eye PI firm, capturing local leagues, referees, club owners, coaches and the higher reaches of the football administration in Ghana, as well as its connection to continental and global football.
According to RAG, a Disciplinary Committee has been set up to look into the allegations and take proper action.
Meanwhile the 74 whose names appeared in the said video are to give way for the Committee to carry out its investigations.
