LaLiga call in the European Commission to investigate Manchester City as their chief accuses Premier League champions of an Enron-style financial scandal

LaLiga president Javier Tebas has extraordinarily accused Manchester City of an Enron-style financial scandal and revealed on Thursday that his organisation have called in the European Commission to investigate the Premier League side.

It was during a sit-down with reporters at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit in London that Tebas dropped his bombshell claims. Enron was an infamous multi-billion-pound accounting deception which erupted nearly 25 years ago in the United States.

Accusing City of artificially keeping their costs down by using related companies, Tebas added 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.
