Uganda defy Fifa and order Magogo probe in World Cup tickets resale

The Minister of Sports Janet Museveni orders the Inspector General of Government to investigate the official who has been convicted of an offence

Uganda Minister of Education and Sports Janet Museveni has directed sanctioned Fufa president Moses Magogo to be investigated further for the resale of 2014 Fifa World Cup tickets.

Fifa had in October found Magogo guilty of the offence and subsequently slapped him with a fine of CHF 10,000 (USh37 million) and handed him a two-month ban from football-related matters.

The world football governing body warned Ugandan authorities from prosecuting Magogo further since the matter had been settled.
