As an extension of the investigation carried out by several media, relating to suspicious payments made by the former owner of Chelsea, Roman Abramovitch, to circumvent financial fair play, a new affair has just come to light. According to DH Sportsa former resident of Stamford Bridge, in the person of Eden Hazard, who announced his retirement from sports last October, would be involved in a financial scandal despite himself.
Revealed under the colors of LOSC after winning the French championship with the Mastiffs, the Belgian is in the sights of several European leaders. At the end of fierce negotiations, the native of La Louvière finally opted to sign for Chelsea for nearly €35 million. It was during this transaction carried out in 2012 that his agent at the time, John Bico, who also manages the interests of his other Hazard brothers, would have received a tidy sum of €6.5 million. And according to information provided by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), this payment recovered via an offshore company located in the British Virgin Islands would have been deemed fraudulent.
