Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Nyarugenge Intermediate Court has convicted and sentenced three individuals, including a former football coach, a judge, and another individual, in connection to the case of football coach David Rumanzi who fled the country.<\/p>\n

The convicted individuals are Rumanzi, former coach of Amavubi Under-13 team at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Academy Rwanda; Eric Twambajimana, a Nyarugenge Intermediate Court judge; and Emmanuel Mwenedata.<\/p>\n

Rumanzi and Twambajimana were found guilty of forgery of documents and have been sentenced to two years and six months, with one and a half years suspended. This implies that they will serve one year in prison. On the other hand, Mwenedata received a three-month sentence for not reporting a felony.<\/p>\n

Throughout the trial, Rumanzi was absent, while Twambajimana and Mwenedata have been in custody since March 10.<\/p>\n

In March, Twambajimana was arrested for issuing fake summon papers from the Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) to Rumanzi, who was seeking asylum in Europe after fleeing the country in May 2022.<\/p>\n

Rumanzi and other coaches had accompanied the boys’ U-13 PSG Academy Rwanda team to the PSG Academy World Cup in France. However, on May 25, when the team returned home, Rumanzi chose to stay in France and seek refuge.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that he faced challenges in obtaining asylum documents; Rumanzi solicited the help of his friend Twambajimana.<\/p>\n

Twambajimana, in turn, used his position to create fake RIB summons papers for Rumanzi to aid him in seeking asylum in a European country. Unfortunately, for them, these documents were confiscated at Kigali International Airport before reaching Rumanzi.<\/p>\n
