Reigning Indian Super League champions Chennaiyin FC today raised the issue of conflict of interest regarding FC Goa co-owner Srinivas Dempo and asked the All India Football Federation to take action against him.
“Chennaiyin FC would like to raise the issue that the co-owner of FC Goa Mr Srinivas Dempo holds the position of vice-president of AIFF which clearly creates a conflict of interest situation,” the club said in a letter to the ISL Regulatory Commission. “Office bearers of the AIFF having commercial interests in ISL teams create a situation where there could be a potential risk of professional judgment or actions regarding a primary interest (i.e. in this case, being an office bearer of the AIFF) being influenced by a secondary interest (i.e. co-owner of FC Goa),” the Chennai-based club co-owned by Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan said in the letter. “Therefore, an appropriate action needs to be taken against FC Goa and Mr Srinivas Dempo,” it added.
