Today, FIFA purchased Cardiff City FC to pay the second and 3rd instalments of the transfer cost for Emiliano Sala to FC Nantes as anticipated.
Yesterday the CEO of FC Nantes, Franck Kita, was put into authorities custody along with Bakari Sanogo and Joaquim Batica by the JIRS, French district attorneys specialised in organised criminal activity and monetary criminal activity. A judicial examination was opened in June 2022 on the counts of “unlawful workout of sports representative activity, forgery and usage of forgery, abuse of business possessions, laundering of worsened tax evasion and arranged money laundering”. The Club’s neglect claim in France versus FC Nantes shows direct exchanges revealing Mr Kita was notifying Mr Sanogo of the proposed transfer cost for Emiliano Sala. It is unclear why.
In the situations, the Club thinks about that it would have been fairer if the requirement to pay FC Nantes had actually been postponed till the conclusion of the French authorities examinations and the club’s claim versus FC Nantes in the French courts.
