Ali Keita, former Östersund player, has been sentenced to 50 days in jail after driving under the influence of cocaine and facing additional money laundering charges.
Ali Keita, a former player for Östersund in Sweden, was arrested after it was discovered he was driving under the influence of cocaine. Initially, authorities believed he was under the influence of alcohol, but Keita later admitted to using the drug.
This isn't the only issue for Keita, as Swedish police have also charged him with money laundering, for which he has been sentenced to 50 days in jail. Keita denies the money laundering accusations.
Following the incident, Keita is no longer a part of the Swedish club. Östersund released a statement saying: "Ali Keita was an important part of Östersund for a long time. His loyalty and everything he did for the club are greatly appreciated, which made this decision even harder."
