Chelsea To Face Fine, Points Deduction, Or Transfer Ban Over Breaches

Published

on

Premier League side, Chelsea are currently under the scrutiny of a potential transfer ban, which stems from an investigation into potential financial breaches during Roman Abramovich’s ownership of the club.

Recall that Abramovich was the owner of Chelsea from 2003 to 2022 when he was sanctioned by the UK government and subsequently disqualified as a director of the club following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The new leadership, led by Todd Boehly, reported cases of incomplete financial information during Abramovich’s tenure.

Leaked documents reported by The Guardian and Bureau of Investigative Journalism revealed that Abramovich purportedly utilized offshore companies to conduct transactions with agents and associates, allegedly benefitting Chelsea. These unreported payments amounted to tens of millions of pounds and may have breached financial regulations if not officially declared.

Concurrently, the Premier League’s ongoing investigation, which has the potential to result in a fine, points deduction, or transfer ban for Chelsea, aims to probe any possible connections between the offshore entities and individuals involved in player transfers.

Recently, the Premier League CEO, Richard Masters, acknowledged the complexity of the situation as it pertains to events that occurred under previous ownership. He expressed that the investigation is nearing a conclusion but refrained from disclosing the potential ramifications until the process is complete.
