MALAGA CF: National Police officers are investigating a complaint filed against Sheikh Al-Thani.
against Economic and Fiscal Crime (UDEF) arrived at the offices of the club, located in the stadium of La Rosaleda, to collect
the documentation requested to prove the economic viability of the club. The investigators were
accompanied by the judicial secretary of the Court of Instruction of Malaga, who has taken charge of the complaint filed by the
Association of Small Shareholders (APA) against Sheikh Al-Thani and the rest of the members of the Board of Directors formed by his three children. In the complaint, the APA accuses the Al-Thani family of the alleged crimes of ‘unfair administration,’ ‘misappropriation of funds’ and ‘imposition of abusive corporate agreements.’ They also requested that the owner be removed from the management of the club and that a judicial administration be appointed to direct it. So far the judge has dismissed precautionary
measures and has cited inadequate documentation provided by these shareholders, and so the complaint has been passed to the defendants to allow them to give a statement in court on February 18, 2020, from 10.15am Police sources confirmed that the offices are being reviewed as part of a court order.
