AFC should probe De Jongh papers

Claims have emerged that AFC Leopards coach Pietier De Jongh was fired as Technical Director by Hungarian FA for presenting fake professional papers.
The Dutchman is said to have presented a UEFA PRO licence which made him qualify for the job in Hungary while actually he never had the licence, but was only qualified to hold a UEFA A Diploma.
An official at KNVB (the Dutch FA) also confirmed De Jongh had never qualified to hold a UEFA PRO licence and what he claims to have is fake.
De Jongh is, however, currently under a contract with AFC Leopards but we do not understand under what circumstances he was given the job at the KPL side.
The question is, did AFC officials care to confirm with KNVB if the coach had the required qualifications before giving him a job and whether he had been fired for lying at his previous location?
The allegations are very serious and AFC officials should move fast and find the truth on their coach.
It is wrong, if they are paying the services of a coach, who is using fake papers.
