FA Reports 15 Transfers To Fifa
The Football Association has sent the paperwork for 15 transfers undertaken since January 2008 to the world football governing body FIFA for investigation.
The paperwork has been done by the FA’s transfer auditors Quest, a corporate investigations company that in the past has probed Premier League transfers.
All of them are international in nature and fall outside of the FA’s remit, while FIFA is also probing other cases forwarded to them by the FA.
‘In accordance with the 2008 Players’ Agents Regulations, these cases fall under the FIFA disciplinary committee,’ said a FIFA spokesman.
Earlier this month FIFA banned Chelsea from signing any new players until January 2011 after they were found guilty of inducing Gael Kakuta to break his contract with Lens in 2007.
The club is in the process of appealing against FIFA’s ruling although the decision sparked a number of other media reports of similar activities being undertaken by other Premier League teams.
