Nicky Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Just noticed this on the suns website. I'm sure we'll find out who soon enough. " COPS arrested a Premier League star on Monday in connection with football's war against corruption. City of London officers are believed to have taken the 28-year-old into custody on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud before bailing him. At present, the police have only confirmed the arrest, bail provision and age of the player being questioned. But they admit it relates to their ongoing investigation into football corruption. The move follows raids on three clubs — Newcastle, Portsmouth and Rangers — in July and the arrest of a 61-year-old Manchester man in May. Despite his club claiming no knowledge of the matter, the player's identity is expected to be revealed later today." http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2007420552,00.html Can we start allegedly speculating? Isn't Dyer allegedly 28? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 We've only got two 28 year olds by my reckoning - Duff and Geremi, and it seems unlikely to be either of them in terms of football corruption. Be interesting to see who it is though. EDIT: Oh. See, I was right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 what's Chimbonda got to do with the raids on Newcastle, Portsmouth and Rangers? Supposedly the transfer to Wigan was the one that wasn't cleared (and wasn't named at the time either) as it was part of another ongoing investigation.

Nicky Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Times's version; The Premier League player questioned as a witness in the inquiry into alleged fraud in football was Pascal Chimbonda, the Tottenham Hotspur defender, The Times can reveal. Chimbonda, 28, was interviewed on Monday by the City of London Police, although there is no suggestion that he has been involved in any wrongdoing. The questioning is not thought to be as a result of the £1.3 million inquiry, headed by Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington on behalf of the Premier League, into alleged corruption in the game. A spokesman at White Hart Lane was not prepared to comment last night, but the questioning of Chimbonda will have sent a tremor through the club as well as the rest of the Premier League. Clubs have been waiting anxiously for the final outcome of the Stevens inquiry and investigations by the City of London Police. Related Links * Premier League today The Quest team led by Stevens, the former Metropolitan Police commissioner, trawled through 362 transfer deals made over a 15-month period. He is yet to clear 17 deals made at five clubs, amid widespread dissatisfaction that the inquiry did not lead to more concrete results. Stevens did, however, pass the results of his investigation to the FA, which is deciding whether disciplinary proceedings can or should be brought against individuals named in the inquiry. The separate City of London Police investigation, though, has been comparatively swift. Apart from an arrest in Manchester, officers raided three clubs – Newcastle United, Portsmouth, plus Rangers, of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League – in July, searching for evidence of corruption, taking away computers and documents as part of their sweep. All three clubs denied any wrongdoing. The City of London force is said to be concentrating on two transfer deals in January 2005, both of which were among the 17 that Stevens refused to clear. They are the £2 million move from Portsmouth to Newcastle by Amdy Faye, the Senegal midfield player, and Jean Alain Boumsong’s £8.2 million transfer from Rangers to Newcastle. Willie McKay was the agent for both players and also acts for Chimbonda. McKay is thought to be part of the investigation, although he also denies that he has taken part in any wrongdoing. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article2442291.ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
