Footballs potential big issue, in plain sight! πŸ‘€

Every game you watch now features advertising for random Asian gambling co's

Clubs take that money in seeming blissful ignorance

Remember Wigan Athletics collapse?

FBI crack down on World Cup betting?

The problem is the unregulated nature of these Asian betting markets.

Dominated by Organised Crime

Links to propping up the North Korean regime

Ex Thai PM (Man City/Abu Dhabi)

Big clubs in Greece, Belgium etc

Great article/infographics πŸ‘‡

For anyone interested (especially the @JosimarFotball team) have a read of the @aminterest article below

Not obvious to begin with BUT then...πŸ”—

Russian Mafia, Triads, Yakuza, Italian Mafia etc - Their influence on weak/corrupt states

The ramifications

*World Cup betting scandal/FBI
*Montenegro, Shinawatra, Man City, Corrupt Dukanovic
*Cigarette smuggling, Drugs, Italian Mafia, San Marino diplomat, betting co. in Malta
*Abramovich/Berezovsky high court, Abu Dhabi laundering πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ’Έ Chelsea, Man C
*G Lopez

Remember 'Men who sell football' @AJIunit ?

*Front men, shells, laundering #Samuelson
*Back to Montenegro, First Bank #Obolensky
*Tevez/Mascherano, Patrakashvilli, West Ham, Chelsea, Man City
*Putins PeopleπŸ“šAngneli, Juve, S DePahlem, Chigirinsky
*Valmet
Here's some more.

The networks at play cross over & the interests are varied

BUT

They are all using English Football

The governance structures & due diligence are not fit for purpose

Or, maybe some here in UK are on the take and part of the problem?

To wrap it up & reconnect to original post about unregulated Asian gambling co's and English football.

Check out @RUSI_org & @FT investigation into North Korea, Ghost ships, oil, smuggling, a variety of Mafia's & this chap πŸ‘‡

The tragic and dangerous spectre of Gun crime has brought this back into focus recently

This @BBCPanorama tries to give some historical context with some commentary from people with good knowledge
@MiloPete πŸ“š #DrugWars

Stops short of naming bosses tho!

This was a good series that got more into the detail and characters...

But still, the upper echelon not identified.

Who are they?

Big property developers?
Sports club owners?
Local businessmen?
Nightclub owners?

Untouchable?? 🚨

Gangsters have always had an affinity & often connection with sports stars

Kirk Bradley (mentioned in that @BBCPanorama ) was part of the gang who carried out grenade & firearms offences...

Remember grenade on Kenny Dalglish's wall?
Stevie G & headlines?

Look forward to catching up on this @BBCiPlayer

His legacy lives on in so many ways (most nefarious)!

His dealings were never really understood by the wider public when he was alive - So much has come out posthumously☠️

There's lot's of things that just don't add up in the #DerbyCounty story (not just the balance sheet)!

#DCFC

Fortunes squandered
Rules bent/broken
Offshore
Financial Engineering
Fronts
Fraudsters

It's not the first time the poor DCFC fanbase have been exposed to these c*nts
I was reminded of this incredible story from the mid 2000's that had passed me by at the time... but could be instructive of things to come.

#DCFC #QPR
- MD Nissan
- Fraud/Financial Engineering
- Offshore
- Loans/Mortgages on the stadium
- Dodgy solicitors & administrators

βš½οΈπŸ’Έ
The story about #MichaelHunt the biggest (uncovered) theft in the UK from #Nissan

Money Laundering through Swiss Trusts & banked in #Panama then loaned back to #QPR and #DCFC is the stuff of Spy movies!

@david_conn Nissan don't come out of this well - Anyway, moving on...πŸ’Έβš½οΈ
