Nyantakyi determined to fight his case in court against The Telegraph

Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi remains adamant he is pushing ahead with his intention to sue The Telegraph for reporting his involvement in an alleged match-fixing scandal after meeting up with three lawyers in the UK.

Nyantakyi is alleged by the English tabloid to be involved in scandalous atyempt to fix matches of the Black Stars.

The GFA boss was secretly filmed in a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of Berekeum Chelsea Nana Kwame Nketia and FIFA agent Christopher Forsythe discussing the possibility of selling the rights of friendly matches of the Ghana national team over a period.

Nyantakyi made no comments whatsoever in the secret video to suggest his preparedness to fix matches of the Black Stars for financial gain as the English tabloid reported.

The news first broke during Ghana’s challenged campaign at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Many suspect foul play on the part of The Telegraph to further rock the Black Stars camp in Brazil with distorted facts.

Reporters from the English tabloid even traveled to the Ghana camp in Brazil in an attempt to interview Kwesi Nyantakyi – while filming secretly – but they denied.

FIFA and CAF have since referred the case back to the Ghana FA after their preliminary investigations failed to indict the GFA President.

The GFA boss in a press conference a few days after the news broke organized a press conference in Brazil where he declared his determination to fight the case in the law courts.

Some are already beginning to think the GFA President lacks the balls to prosecute the case as he initially declared with virtually three months of no action.

But Nyantakyi has revealed all is set to begin his legal charge on the English media firm, having met lawyers in London to discuss options in prosecuting the case in the English courts.

“Last week when I had the opportunity to travel to Zurich, I made a stopover in London where I met three different lawyers to seek their opinion,” he told the Presidential Commission.

“I am very much interested in pursuing this case.”
