Supporting the investigation behind football’s largest financial scandal
POC were part of the investigation that brought to light a hidden financial scandal affecting a group of former Premier League footballers known as the V11. These players, including league champions, England internationals, and representatives of some of the most recognised clubs in world football, suffered devastating financial losses following advice from professional advisers.
Complex Financial Investigation and Evidence Development
The case centred around investments that resulted in tens of millions of pounds in losses, followed by significant tax liabilities being pursued against the players. This was not a story of reckless spending, but one of misplaced trust during the rapid financial expansion of the Premier League era.
Working alongside legal teams, financial experts and other specialists, investigative efforts focused on uncovering documentation, analysing financial activity, and building a clear evidential picture of what had occurred. The findings contributed to wider scrutiny of adviser conduct and supported the players’ pursuit of accountability.
