New details emerged today of money laundering allegations against the company behind the transfers of two Argentinian World Cup stars to West Ham.
Investigators claim to have enough evidence to suggest Media Sport Investment (MSI), the firm that effectively owned Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, of being involved in money laundering.
The suspicions are contained in an official report, compiled in Brazil, where Tevez and Mascherano played their football for Corinthians before their move to West Ham.
According to a copy of the prosecutor’s report, obtained by the Guardian, investigators found that “sufficient indices [exist] to show that the partnership MSICorinthians is being used to practise the laundering of money”.
The report goes on to allege that the money was laundered on behalf of a Russian oligarch, Boris Berezovsky.
