Скачать или смотреть Diack appears before Senegal authorities

(18 Feb 2016) Massata Papa Diack, the son of former IAAF President Lamine Diack, arrived at a police station in his native Senegal on Wednesday after being accused of alleged corruption and money laundering.
A recent report published by the World Anti-Doping Agency claims that in 2012, Papa Massata Diack, arranged a 25 million US dollar sponsorship deal with Russian bank VTB, which is majority-owned by the Russian government.
The report notes that was around the time of an alleged meeting in Moscow between senior IAAF figures and Russian officials over what the report calls a "problem" with TV rights for the 2013 world championships in Moscow.
The report says the unspecified "problem" was valued at 6 million US dollars and says the TV rights award process may be linked to doping cover-ups.
In January, France's financial prosecutor gave an update on the French criminal investigation into corruption involving former IAAF officials.
The case involves Lamine Diack, legal adviser Habib Cisse and former IAAF anti-doping department head Gabriel Dolle.
Prosecutor Eliane Houlette said that when police searched Dolle's house, he pointed them to a safe which contained 87,000 Euros (95,000 US dollars) in cash, in eight envelopes.
Houlette did not announce any new arrests. She said a French arrest warrant for Diack's son, Papa Massata Diack, was issued on 16 December 2015.
The International Criminal Police Organization had issued a red alert in the search category for Papa Massata Diack who arrived at the station in the capital, Dakar for discussions with authorities.
