Drogba is requesting an expression of remorse and harms from the Daily Mail

An examination concerning a charity set up by ex-Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba to help kids in Ivory Coast has found it may have hoodwinked givers.

In any case, the Charity Commission has found no verification of distortion or degradation by the Didier Drogba Foundation.

Their test began in April taking after a claim by the Daily Mail that elite £14,115 of the £1.7m raised by the magnanimity had gone to help the West African country.

David Beckham, Princess Beatrice, Bono, Frank Lampard and Chelsea proprietor Roman Abramovich all bolstered the altruism.

Drogba said he would search for an announcement of disappointment and damages from the everyday paper.

“The Charities Commission has today asserted, after a seven-month examination, that no advantages have been turned by my foundation,” he said.

“They have avowed that there has been no cash related wrongdoing, no deception and no contamination.”

The commission had discussed “bona fide stresses” with Drogba, and looked foundation’s financial records.

It reported they “didn’t reinforce the level of valuable activity stated to have been grasped by the charity”.

Different activities were finished by La Fondation Didier Drogba, an alternate affiliation arranged in the striker’s Ivory Coast home nation.

Regardless, the English generosity, developed in 2009, spent no money on generous activity and was somewhat raising cash for a mending office expand, which was conceded as a consequence of the shaky political situation in Ivory Coast.

The charity was censured for not making this unmistakable to providers and said the nonattendance of capability between the two social events may similarly have misled promoters “about the activities of the generosity they were supporting”.

Potential sponsors may in like manner have been deluded after three London balls were recorded as “useful activities” instead of “raising bolster costs”.

“We have had the ability to satisfy our most veritable stresses in association with the generosity by certifying that advantages have not been curved and that all benefits raised in the English magnanimity’s name have been held by the English altruism,” the report completed.

“We are also prepared to attest that we found no affirmation of coercion or corruption for the altruism.

“We have issued the generosity with an action plan to ensure that the unprecedented concerns, particularly as to straightforwardness to givers and the all-inclusive community, are tended to by the charity’s trustees.”
