Uganda FA under investigation over money laundering

The Uganda Football Association had its accounts frozen last week after accusations of money laundering.

The Uganda Football Association (FUFA) is currently being investigated over alleged money laundering.

The Ugandan Financial Intelligence Authority (Ufia) confirmed that they had frozen FUFA's accounts but have allowed now them to continue business.

Executive director of Ufia Sydney Asubo told the BBC: "We had frozen their [Fufa's] accounts last week, but we re-opened them on Wednesday as we continue to investigate deeper into the matter."

Ufia was established in 2014 by the government to monitor all financial transactions inside the country and FUFA have received financial support from the government and FIFA in recent years.

Asubo refused to go into further details about the claims as the investigation is ongoing.
