Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Ghanaian striker Benjamin Acheampong has been sentenced to three years in prison in Egypt for refusing to pay an agent his commission over his transfer to the North African country.

The former Asante Kotoko player was also fined $570 over his transfer to the Egyptian top-flight side Zamalek two years ago.

The judge also ordered the player to pay the agent Wael Al-Kharbtawi $23,000 in addition to serving the 36 months in prison.

Wael Kharbtawi filed a lawsuit against the player two months ago, accusing him of evading the payment $23,000 which is the value of the commission the two parties agreed on.

He did not receive the money when the player receivecd his payment from Zamalek prompting the agent to go to court to seek justice.

The agent told the court he attempted to solve the problem in an amicable manner to enable him receive his due but the player did not commit it.

The judge ruled on the case in the absence of the player after he refused to answer to several court summons.

Acheampong currently plays in Qatar which might be the reason why he failed to attend the court hearing which has resulted in the tough sentence.

Kharbatawi is expected to send a copy of the verdict to the player’s embassy and send a copy to the Egyptian Embassy in Qatar, where he joined a Qatari club recently.

Acheampong moved from Zamalek recently after failing to hold down regular playing time but the player insists the lack of payment of his salaries is the reason for his departure.

Find below the ruling by the judge in Egypt:
