Five arrested in football inquiry Five men have been arrested in connection with alleged corruption in football, police have said. City of London Police said the men - aged 69, 60, 55, 48 and 30 - were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting. The arrests were part of the force's ongoing investigation into corruption within the game, a spokeswoman said. Two searches are still under way and 10 others have been concluded at locations across the country. Detectives from the economic crime unit of the City of London Police are investigating allegations of corruption within football and its impact on owners and shareholders. In July, officers raided Newcastle United, Portsmouth and Rangers football clubs as part of the inquiry. Seven arrests Last year, the Premier League asked former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Stevens and his company, Quest, to carry out a separate inquiry into several hundred player transfer deals. In June, Lord Stevens presented his final report, which highlighted concerns over 17 transfers and five Premier League clubs. City of London Police have distanced their investigation from Lord Stevens' inquiry. The latest arrests bring the total number of people detained in connection with the investigation to seven. In September, a 28-year-old man was arrested in London and in May, a 61-year-old man was arrested in Manchester on suspicion of money laundering. ________________________________________________ What we make of this Appartently one is a Premier league manager, one a premier league player and the other a players agent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any ideas who?? Chimbonda was mentioned before, but wonder who the manager is.
Harry was dedffo arrested, not sure about Milan, thought it was some other Pompey official .. but deffo Harry. Bye Bye any chance for an England job Harry ..
Strange statement though by Harry he said that in order for the police to talk to him about the situation he had to be arrested first. I have never heard of the police asking for peoples assistance in an ongoing investigation by arresting them, wouldnt they just ask him to come in for questioning?
Proves to me he's guilty as sin. It's almost as if he's saying "Yeah I did wrong but you'll get nothing from me unless I'm arrested". Stupid stupid man.
