According to The Telegraph, the English Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has sent a message to Hatice Cengiz, assuring her in a letter that her calls for the Newcastle United takeover to be blocked are “being fully considered”.
The fiancee of murdered Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi insists that the Public Investment Fund can’t pass the Premier League’s owners’ and directors’ test, as their chairman Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is behind the death of Khashoggi.
While independent investigators say the claims are true, Bin Salman denies, but for the first time in two months, the Premier League acknowledge that they are examining the allegations of murder and human rights abuses as part of the tests being conducted over the £300 million Magpies takeover.
