The head of Newcastle is close to bankruptcy

Newcastle’s management is once again in the spotlight. Amanda Staveley, co-owner of the Premier League club, appeared in court today over an unpaid debt. The relative of Mohammed Ben Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia, would not have paid 37 million pounds sterling 15 years ago to Victor Restis, a rich Greek shipowner who was quite controversial.

Ex-fiancée of Prince Andrew, Amanda Staveley must defend herself today before a judge at the London court. In this case, relayed by The Mirror, the Briton will try to have a bankruptcy petition against her rejected. The Newcastle director has already been in controversial cases, notably against the company Barclays in 2021.
