The Egyptian Competition Authority (ECA) referred the head of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to the public prosecution over violations of laws regulating football championships broadcast.

The CAF head - the only one in charge of granting the rights of broadcasting of CAP championships - is accused of influence peddling, the ECA said in a statement on Wednesday.

The CAF head granted the broadcasting rights to SPORTFIVE, an agency of Lagardère Unlimited, for 12 years as of 2017, without allowing a fair competition among other companies seeking to win the broadcast rights.
