 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence.

 Uganda opposition leader Bobi Wine flees country after tense election


Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine said on Saturday he fled the country to escape a military search for him in the aftermath of a disputed presidential election.


Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, went into hiding shortly after the Jan. 15 presidential election. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni won the election with 71.6% of the vote, according to official results that Wine rejects as fake.


Wine’s location has been unknown to the general public for weeks, with growing concern for his safety after the army chief, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, repeatedly posted threats against him on social platform X, AP reported.


Kainerugaba, the president’s son, has suggested Wine is wanted for unspecified crimes. Ugandan police say they are not looking for him.


In a video message posted on X on Saturday, an unshaven Wine said he managed to leave Uganda but did not reveal where he went.


“Fellow Ugandans and friends of Uganda all over the world, by the time you see this video I will have left the country for some critical engagements outside Uganda,” he said.


‘I will come back’


“And at the right time I will come back and continue with the cause. I thank all of you fellow Ugandans who have concealed and protected me for all this time when the regime was looking for me.”


He said it was impossible for Ugandan security operatives to find him “because the people have protected me.”


Ugandan soldiers raided Wine’s house the day after the January 15 vote, but the opposition leader had already gone into hiding, fearing for his life after campaigning for weeks in helmet and flak jacket at rallies where security forces were a constant presence.
