Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>A prosecutor in Algiers on Thursday demanded 18 months in prison for former Algerian national team coach and FC Porto star Rabah Madjer, notably for “fraud”.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to the local press, the former football star is being prosecuted for “forgery and use of forgeries”, “false declaration” and “swindling”.<\/p>\n

Rabah Madjer, 63, owned two newspapers “Al Balagh” and “Al Balagh Erriadhi” and allegedly continued to cash publicity cheques a year after their closure.<\/p>\n

The plaintiff, the National Publishing and Advertising Agency (ANEP), has asked for the sum to be returned and for damages to be paid.<\/p>\n

The verdict will be delivered on 9 June.<\/p>\n

Rabah Madjer is known for a back-heel kick he made during the 1987 Champions Cup with FC Porto against Bayern Munich. The back-heel now bears the name Madjer.<\/p>\n

He was the Fennecs’ coach for eight months before being sacked at the end of June 2018 after a series of poor results.<\/p>\n
