Allegations of Fraud

Allegations of fraud against Amani became public when the media pointed out that, on the one hand, Amani had won several beauty contests and, on the other hand, attempted to conceal her real age or disseminate different ages. The media suggested that Amani may therefore have violated the age guidelines of some of the beauty contests she had participated in (i.e. either being too old or too young). For example, according to news.de, Amani had declared a wrong (younger) age when signing up for the Miss24.de beauty contest and the Miss South Germany contest.[4][5]
