Former president of the Football Federation of North Macedonia, Muhamed Sejdini, was arrested on Thursday.
According to reports, Sejdini is suspected of misappropriating 700,000 euros, which UEFA had allocated for the construction of a stand at a stadium in Ohrid.
“Police officers from the Department for Combating Organized and Serious Crime and the Department of Criminal Police, in coordination with the Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Skopje, deprived M.S. of his liberty on suspicion of committing criminal offenses – embezzlement and abuse of office,” said North Macedonia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Sejdini took over the leadership of the FFM in 2018. Under his leadership, North Macedonia achieved the greatest success in its history by qualifying for Euro 2020.
He left the position in 2024, after his term ended.
