Belgium football transfer: Two arrested in fraud inquiry
They were detained in raids in Belgium, London and Monaco on Tuesday and Wednesday, Belgian prosecutors say. They gave no details, but those arrested are said to be a Monaco-based agent and an associate in Belgium. Several top Belgian football clubs have been raided over the past year over allegations of transfer fraud. The recent police raids included four in Monaco, two in Belgium and one in London.
The facts involve notably money-laundering operations and private corruption in the context of football player transfers," they said on Wednesday. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said We have been assisting Belgian authorities with their investigation; no arrests have been made in London. It is understood that Newcastle believe they are not directly connected to the inquiry and as such are not part of the investigation.
In April, Anderlecht premises were searched in connection with that inquiry. No-one was detained at the time.
