Time is getting bad for Lamine Diack. The former president of the IAAF had a difficult day on Monday, June 15, to say the least, as his trial entered its second week at the Paris judicial court. The 32nd Criminal Chamber looked into the “breach of trust” aspect of the indictment. It only concerns Lamine Diack and his son Papa Massata, former marketing advisor to the IAAF. Pressed with questions about the alleged embezzlement of several million dollars, the Senegalese appeared very uncomfortable, going so far as to suggest: “ You know, I'm becoming an old nail. » The hearing reached a peak when the prosecutor, François Xavier Dulin, asked Lamine Diack: “ In 4 years, you have received 620.000 euros from Papa Massata Diack or his companies in your accounts in France, Monaco or Senegal. What do these amounts correspond to? » After a silence, the former president of world athletics responded: « I don’t remember what that was.”
