1.º de Agosto directorate denies accusation of embezzlement

The president of 1.º de Agosto, Carlos Hendrick, denied the accusation of embezzling funds at the club, given the crisis that the sports association has been facing for a few months.

:

"The salaries go directly to the accounts of the players and employees of the club, coming from the state companies. Here there is no possibility of withdrawing or making maneuvers with the available funds", he guaranteed.

The president announced, shortly, that a general meeting would be held to present the club's accounts, and also said that the financial amount he currently receives from the state is insufficient.

Football and basketball athletes, who had the highest salaries in national sport, have been without salaries for three months, and 1.º de Agosto employees for seven months.

As a result, athletes and officials were on strike for 24 hours in Luanda two weeks ago.

Recently, the Ministry of Finance announced the reduction of the amount allocated to 1.º de Agosto, which led the club's management to ask for "respect" for the achievements already achieved.
