European Commission respond to LaLiga's call to investigate Man City after their chief accused Premier League champions of a financial scandal

The European Commission has confirmed LaLiga have made a submission to investigate Manchester City after claims the Premier League champions have been involved in a financial scandal.

LaLiga president Javier Tebas made the bombshell claim at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit in London on Thursday.

Tebas accused Man City of a Enron-style financial scandal. Enron was an infamous multi-billion-pound accounting deception which erupted nearly 25 years ago in the United States.

The official, who has led the Spanish football league since 2013, accused City of artificially keeping their costs down by using related companies

He added that LaLiga had submitted a complaint to the European Commission in 2023 relating to City’s financial mechanisms, claiming they cause a serious distortion in the EU internal market.
