Portsmouth Boss Re-quizzed By Police
Peter Storrie, the executive chairman of Premier League club Portsmouth, has been re-questioned as part of a police inquiry into suspected corruption in football.
Storrie was questioned on a ‘tax issue’ by HM Revenue and Customs at Bishopsgate police station in London, a club spokesman said.
He was arrested in November 2007 on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting.
He denies any wrong-doing and was not charged, the club spokesman added.
Certain parts of the case had been passed to HM Revenue and Customs, which wanted to question Storrie regarding the matter.
Storrie, who becomes the second major football club chief to be re-questioned over the matter following last week’s arrest of Birmingham City’s Karren Brady, had been re-bailed to attend a police station in June 2009.
