The president of the South African Football Association (SAFA), Danny Jordaan, was arrested on Wednesday accused of using the organization’s money for his own purposes, according to local media.

Jordaan, who played a major role in organizing the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, had tried to prevent his impending arrest on Tuesday, but the High Court in Johannesburg is only expected to hear his request on Thursday.

The arrest followed a police raid on SAFA’s offices in March, after police spokesperson Katlego Mogale said the allegations are that “between 2014 and 2018, the SAFA president used the resources of the organization for his personal profit, including the hiring of a private security company for his Personal protection and company for public relations, without the authorization of the Board of Directors of the SAFA.

Jordaan and his co-accused, SAFA finance director Gronie Hluyo and businessman Trevor Neethling, are expected to appear in court later on Wednesday.

Neither Jordaan nor SAFA responded to a Reuters request for comment, but in their statement to the court seeking to block their arrest, they denied any wrongdoing.
