Watford are being investigated by the English Football League (EFL), following an article in the Daily Telegraph which claims the Premier League club supplied false financial information to the organisation.
The Daily Telegraph claims a forged banking letter was provided shortly before the club’s 2014/15 promotion-winning campaign. It allegations focus on the sole takeover of the Hornets in 2014, by Gino Pozzo, where he assumed complete control from his father Giampaolo, and the alleged use of a forged banking letter.
The fabricated letter appeared to be from global banking giant HSBC, according to the article.
