PETEVINOS on EMBARGO: "We have been trying to contact Mehri for 10 days..."

Nektarios Petevinos commented on the FIFA embargo situation and the case of Saïd Mehri. He pointed out that 4 out of 5 issues related to the embargo have been resolved, but they are facing difficulties communicating with Mehri's side to complete the payment. They have contacted FIFA and are trying to find an alternative account for the payment, as the initial account is blocked and the new one provided is incorrect. The process is stalled due to the lack of communication with Iran, where Mehri's manager and lawyer are located.
