Ajax FC Soccer Club officials charged in $650,000 fraud

Two former officials of the Ajax FC Soccer Club are facing fraud charges following an investigation by the Durham Regional Police Service. The investigation, which began in December 2024 after reports of banking irregularities, revealed that more than $650,000 in league funds were transferred from the club’s account to various other accounts between early 2023 and 2024.

The accused, identified as the club’s former Executive Director and General Manager, have been released on an undertaking.

In a statement, the Ajax Soccer Club noted that the individuals involved have not been affiliated with the club in any capacity since 2024. The organization stated it has since undergone significant leadership and governance changes and is currently operating under a new Board of Directors and executive team focused on transparency and accountability.
