Caf President Ahmad Ahmad has allegedly been arrested by French police at the Berri Hotel in Paris on Thursday morning.
The Caf boss was in the European nation to attend the Fifa congress, which brought about Gianni Infantino’s re-election as President of the governing body.
According to Jeune Afrique, Ahmad Ahmad was detained at 8:30am and will face the anti-corruption agency's Central Office for the fight against corruption, financial and fiscal offences (Oclif).
The arrest has reportedly been made due to the President misusing funds costing up to $830,000 after ordering equipment via a French intermediary company called Tactical Steel.
