Interpol issues wanted notice for Diack's son
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 01 - 2016

Interpol said Thursday it has issued a wanted notice for Papa Massata Diack, son of Lamine Diack, the disgraced former president of world athletics' governing body the IAAF.
"RED NOTICE: Papa Massata Diack, wanted by France on bribery, money-laundering & corruption charges," the Lyon-based international police organization said on its Twitter account.
Diack's profile and mug shot were added to the list of 332 other wanted people on Interpol's online list.
Lamine Diack stood down as IAAF president in August before he was charged with corruption by French judges.
Lamine Diack and his son, a former marketing consultant for the IAAF, are suspected of having made millions from bribes and other shady deals.
Diack junior was banned for life by the IAAF's ethics commission on Jan. 7. The commission found that the son, former Russia athletics chief Valentin Balakhnichev and former Russian walking coach Alexei Melnikov "conspired to extort what were in substance bribes from the athlete by acts of blackmail".
French authorities, meanwhile, seized 87,000 euros in cash from the home of Gabriel Dolle, the IAAF's former anti-doping director, who was banned from athletics for five years last week, French prosecutors said Thursday.
Dolle was banned by the IAAF's ethics committee for his involvement in a corruption scandal that saw a Russian athlete blackmailed to ensure a positive doping test was "lost".
Elaine Houlette, French lead financial prosecutor, told a news conference Thursday that Dolle was found to have "50, 100, 200, and 500 euro notes distributed among eight envelopes".
Last week, the ethics committee banned three senior officials for life for their role in corruption and blackmail, including the former head of the Russian athletics federation and former IAAF treasurer Valentin Balakhnichev.
Dolle escaped a life ban because his offenses involved "omission, not commission", the committee said.
On Thursday Houlette said a bank account containing 1.8 million euros had been identified as belonging to Balaknichev.
"The amount was seized as a protective measure," she said. "Further inquires will be necessary to see what financial flows took place and their links.
"We have good relations with Russian judicial authorities. We are also working with Singaporean anti-corruption authorities," she added. "The duration depends on the speed of information received."
