Algerian propaganda falsely accuses Lekjaa of using spy software for CAF influence

Algerian propaganda falsely accuses Lekjaa of using spy software for CAF influence
Monday 25 November 2024 - 10:32

In a baseless attack, Algeria’s state-run TV2, linked to the military regime, accused Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, of using the Pegasus spyware to spy on officials within the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

The channel aired a report in French, claiming Lekjaa, also Morocco’s Minister Delegate to the Minister of Finance, was corrupt—simply because of his repeated successes in sports, under the guidance of King Mohammed VI.

The report absurdly suggested that Lekjaa’s success in African football was due to spying on CAF leaders to advance Morocco’s interests.

Such conspiratorial rhetoric, commentators argue, is nothing more than a desperate attempt by Algeria’s military-backed media to deflect from their own failures, as Morocco’s success continues to outpace them.
