Al Jazeera · world

Manchester City has been found guilty by the Premier League of nearly all 115 charges for breaching financial rules between 2009 and 2018. An independent commission determined the club used "sham" commercial contracts to artificially inflate revenues by over £900 million. The league stated City "systematically broke Premier League rules for nearly a decade." The club denies all wrongdoing and plans to appeal the verdict. Potential sanctions range from fines to expulsion from the league.
