A video of the vice president of Suriname, a country in northern South America, handing money to players of the opposing team after participating in an international soccer game was released, and was embroiled in a 'controversy over money'.



On the 21st local time, Suriname Vice President Ronnie Brunsweig started as a player for the Inter Mungo-Tapu team in the CONCACAF league match held in Paramaribo, the capital, and played for 54 minutes against CD Olympia of Honduras.

The 'CONCACAF League', a competition between clubs in North Central America and the Caribbean, is the second division following the 'CONCACAF Champions League'.



Vice President Brunsweig set the record for the oldest player (60 years and 198 days) to play in an international football club match with this match.



He is known to be the Vice President of Suriname and the owner of the Interr Mungo-Tapu team.



The team manager explained that Vice-President Brunsweig requested "I want to play for about 10 to 15 minutes myself", and the players agreed to this, and explained that they were allowed to participate.



It is reported that Interr Mungotapu, who Vice President Brunsweik started on this day, lost 0-6 to CD Olympia.



However, the start of the 'soccer enthusiast' club owner did not end with a pleasant incident.

This is because a video of the vice president directly visiting the opposing team's locker room and handing cash to the players after the match was released on social media, causing controversy.

It is also known that his son was among the team starters for which the vice president is the owner.



In response, CONCACAF announced on the 22nd that the disciplinary committee would officially investigate the situation in the video.



Meanwhile, Vice-President Brunsweig was sentenced to prison terms in Dutch and French courts for drug trafficking, and it is known that Interpol was wanted during his tenure as vice-president.

It is said that he is currently excluded from the Interpol Red Wanted List.



He will not play in the second match to be held in Honduras due to personal problems, AFP reported.



This is a 'news pick'.
