It didn't go unpunished. After Senegal's elimination by Côte d'Ivoire from the AFCON 2023, Krépin Diatta shouted at an official in the mixed zone "you're corrupt", criticizing the refereeing, which he deemed biased in favor of the host country. Following an investigation, CAF decided to crack down, according to the media outlet Le Journal de Dakar."The Disciplinary Committee of the Confederation of African Football has ruled on the case of Krépin Diatta. The Lions' right-back has been handed a four-match suspension, two of which are suspended. In addition to a fine of 20,000 dollars (around 19,000 euros) to be paid jointly with the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF)", reports the Senegalese media.
