A 'leaked UEFA report revealed that a mystery figure from the United Arab Emirates paid Man City £30m' to 'cover sums that were supposed to have come from one of their main sponsors'.
Man City: ‘Leaked Report’ Accuses ‘mystery Figure’ Of Paying £30m To Cover For ‘sponsorship’ Money29 Jun 2023 8:55 PMAccording to a leaked report, Premier League champions Man City were paid £30m by a ‘mystery figure’ to cover for supposed money from a ‘sponsorship’.This followed a four-year probe into their conduct between 2009/10 and 2017/18. The Premier League subsequently referred City to an independent commission.
The two £15m payments – which were made in 2012 and 2013 – were submitted to ‘cover sums that were supposed to have come from one of their main sponsors’.
‘City’s case was that Etisalat repaid the money to their owners in 2015, but that was not accepted by the Uefa adjudicatory committee. It imposed a two-year European ban on City in 2019 only for it to be overturned a year later by the Court of Arbitration for Sport , which ruled that the £30 million payments could not be dealt with as rule breaches because they were time-barred.
It is also revealed that the ‘makers of the film have kept their identities secret’. While they insist that they are ‘not funded by any Middle East state or any other agency’, Man City ‘suspect there may be geopolitical motives behind the production’ amid the ‘political tensions between the UAE and Qatar’.
