Take Maouche and Vera. *Supposedly* on £4k and £6k respectively is £520k per year basic before signing on bonuses and other perks. That’s £312k of clean money for just 2 players with them making £83k and £125k per year out of it. Again, all hypothetical. TBF I heard Vera was on 3K per week.

That’s still £62k a year for the player using the same logic, you’d just need a few more players to make it worthwhile. We don’t have a shortage of them at the club. Anyway, it’s definitely not happening at Latics so it’s all moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I am not suggesting that anything untoward needs to go on for an owner with past links to a football agency to choose that agency to handle player movements and conditions. It would be simplicity itself. If an owner was prepared to bend the rules and I am not saying or alleging that this is happening at Oldham then the upside would be much greater. Perhaps my years of trying to police large corporate entities with household names leaves me a little cynical when it comes to 'business'. I look forward to seeing the accounts and finding out how the 2 million invested in the club before the change of ownership and in due course how the 200k per month since the change of ownership is reflected.

wiseowl Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Money laundering and terrorist financing are rife throughout the world, at all levels. The first regs over here were implemented in 1994 - and the whole AMLCTF regime has grown massively since. It's the reason that little old ladies are asked for their passports and utility bills when trying to open a modest savings account on the High Street (i.e. to confirm identity and address). Meanwhile, you may not be surprised to know, the "big boys" continue to get away with it. I once investigated a reasonable sized money laundering case (into millions of pounds) with substantial evidence against 2 senior bank employees and proven terrorist involvement. The FTSE100 bank concerned "closed ranks", the 2 rogue employees took "voluntary redundancy" (very nice pay-offs) and my detailed report to NCIS (they were the collating body at the time - it's changed over the years) was lost in the ether. No prosecutions or anything - and the bank wrote off the millions involved. Can I just say though, this is serious stuff and anyone intimating it's going on is on very unsafe ground. NOT a place for such speculation - if anyone suspects money laundering then they have a duty in law to report it to the police or the NCA. My best advice is for the moderators to have a look at some of this - it's not for a message board, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The duty applies to those working in businesses subject to the regulations and specifically but not exclusively to the nominated indiviudal holding the relevant role.

Not as clear cut as you may think - I was only trying to help jorvik - but if you take it the wrong way, that's fine - carry on regardless. Quote : Reporting suspicions If a private individual becomes involved in something they know or suspect is connected to money laundering, or if a financial services firm has knowledge or suspicion that someone might be engaged in a money laundering activity, they have a legal obligation to report this to the UK Financial Intelligence Unit, which is located within the National Crime Agency.

If, for example, a fan has paid his season ticket money (quite legitimately) into a football club and he then forms a suspicion that all is not well and money is being laundered (from elsewhere) then he is deemed to be "involved" in something he suspects is connected to money laundering (i.e. he has paid into it in the first place).

Buying a season ticket doesn't involve you in the process of money laundering at all and there is no duty for the public to report anything.

You can't throw out hypothetical situations (with detailing behind them - and figures) and then say something like "but it's not happening at Latics" on a message board about Latics (!) and then not leave yourself wide open to possible legal action. I hope it never happens to a fan but, if you don't wish to believe me, go and have a word with a barrister who is an expert on defamation claims.

People were saying it wasn't worthwhile doing it at Latics as we don't have any money. I gave a scenario providing hypothetical figures to show that it was possible. No accusations at all.
