Fucking ridiculous - West Ham get a new stadium after massive concessions at the taxpayers' expenses and still have to resort to this.
HM Revenues and Customs [HMRC] have issued the following statement: "HMRC has arrested several men working within the professional football industry for a suspected Income Tax and National Insurance fraud.
"180 HMRC officers have been deployed across the UK and France today. Investigators have searched a number of premises in the North East and South East of England and arrested the men and also seized business records, financial records, computers and mobile phones.
"The French authorities are assisting the UK investigation, have made arrests and several locations have been searched in France.
"This criminal investigation sends a clear message that, whoever you are, if you commit tax fraud you can expect to face the consequences. As this is an ongoing investigation HMRC is unable to provide any further detail at this time."
Most journos seem to think this is will be a big deal.
