The Egyptian Competition Authority (ECA’s) decision to refer the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to prosecution over anti-competitive behavior is not an open invitation to pirate broadcasts of the African Cup of Nations, the ECA said. Organizations such as CAF have a duty not to abuse their position in the market, the ECA explained in a statement. Chairperson Mona El Garf told Al Masry Al Youm in an interview that the ECA’s action now requires CAF to offer broadcast rights for the competition to another outlet aside from Lagardère Sports — while also protecting the rights of those who paid to get access to view the games.

The interview, littered with video excerpts of El Garf’s comments, delved into other high profile ECA cases. El Garf spoke about violations in distributing medications and fertilizers, two cases her office asked prosecutors to investigate in 2016. Al Masry Al Youm also asked about Abraaj’s hospital acquisitions, without naming the company directly, and El Garf responded unequivocally saying that her office looked into them and found they do not pose any threat to competition in the healthcare market.
