Why Are 3 of The Sodje Brothers Sentenced To At Least 18 Months In Jail?

In 2019, a Judge sentenced Stephen, Bright and Efe to 18+ months in jail for corruption related charges. A fourth brother, Akpo Sodje escaped prosecution by running off to Dubai, UAE. The jailed brothers were accused of personally siphoning funds meant for charity through the
Sodje Sports Foundation they created. For instance, they setup black-tie events to raise tens of thousands of pounds for charity. None of the funds actually went to charity but were personally spent by the brothers.
