Andre Action Diakite Jackson (Arabic: أندريه جاكسون‎), (born July 19, 1964), also known by his African clan name "M’Zee Fula-Ngenge" (pronounced [əmˈzeɪ:] [fu:la] [ng'eing'ei]), is a French diamond industrialist and head of JFPI Corporation.

Background

Jackson opened his own diamond manufacturing plant in 1986 in Mbuji-Mayi, in the DRC.

Jackson has also been alleged to be the "mystery man" inside the doping-control room when Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson tested positive immediately following the 100m final at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.
