AFC official blames `election fever` for documents claim
A top Asian football official said he had been deliberately smeared
on Friday after he was accused of ordering documents to be hidden during
an audit triggered by corruption claims.
According to the Malay Mail, the AFC`s financial director said Soosay asked him to "tamper (with) or hide" documents during a 2012 audit.
The audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers was ordered in the wake of claims of financial wrongdoing by former AFC chief Mohamed bin Hammam, who is now banned from football.
But Soosay, speaking to AFP after this week`s AFC congress in Bahrain, said: "The case is closed. It was thoroughly done and dealt with and bin Hammam was suspended.
"It`s completely, I don`t know, all of a sudden taken out of context. It`s election fever. But there`s nothing to worry about, there`s no concern. It`s dealt with."
