The Men Who Sell Football | Al Jazeera Investigations

Andreas Pittadjis has a large painting of Mahatma Gandhi walking on Dandi March right behind. But who would say that Piittadjis himself schemes for fraud and money laundering. Such a shame to see the portrait of the Father of India hanging in his office.

As crooked and stomach-turning as these people are, you can learn a lot that you can use for business minus the scamming.

are you buy p all the best camera men and presenters up?

movie class work , better

you good aljazeera

Restrictions such as laws are for majority of the citizens, the poor.

Give them food and circuses and they will never revolt.

The rich make their own rules

Qatar govt sponsored tv talking about buying football clubs 😅

Haha the same men who invent other real estate agents. Id say sooo many people losing EVERYTHING. and it aint ARG.

When "Successful" People are interviewed they all give their Song and Dance about Hard Honest Work making them Dirty Rich, it's all Lies, no one goes from Rags to Riches without Illegal Activities.

Why are people stupid enough to bet on games, it's the Owner's and fixer's that really win. Games, Art, Movies are all about Money now.. No Pride in Ability and Talent anymore. Anywhere. Britain is a Shameless Haven for every Corrupt Entity.

Such an excellent piece of work for investigative journalism!!!

I suspect this is propaganda, they’re using the same footage as for other aljazeera documentaries - other forces at play here (largely related to Al Jazeera wanting to Tanisha reputation of UAE and Cyprus)

It's sad they bring all this bs to this lovely game really is... But a owner should b able to invest in his own club once a season or sumthing like that

such a great investigation!

Hey criminals, if chinese investors bring you a bottle of Hibiki, wave for the camera and say hi Al Jazeera... same as gold mafia investigation :)

Hubris

Glad I haven’t watch one match since 2008.

"when you know the angels, you don't need God"... Translation when you know demons, you don't need Satan

I am footballer seller I have very good quality of footballs kindly contact if you need

E J teaching me thre tricks I need to know to run a money laundering business

Corruption is all over the world clearly.

This extra ordinary distribution of wealth should be stopped

we want to know from Al Jazeera how The Qatari Rich bought PSG. You are searching for corruption in Russia, while you need to search your home first for corruption.

Samuel is really talented at this

My question to Al Jazeera is:.
Why not Americans or British or Spaniards or Saudis men are not used as examples of criminals buying football teams?
Why always got to be a Chinese?

This is actually much less about football but the underground trusts and systems that obfuscate money laundering. Great reporting nonetheless Al Jazeera ❤

NIce bit of anit-western state sponsored media propaganda.

Imagine if these dimwits actually protested against something proper. There'as no difference between following a football team and buying toys. It's perpetuating childhood.

either you're a poor and applicable to law or rich

amazing doc

Money talks...always have and always will.

This world is it full of mafia in it if a random man did straight away to jail and his names are all over the news ahead line, but for those above there, nothing happens 🤔 absolutely pathetic

Wow. This is rich coming from the country who bought the right to host and then murdered 60k migrant workers to build the infrastructure. Go ahead, remove this comment.

These greeks digging the cemetery for Europeans. Kick them out of EU

The little people are mere maggots in the realms or mr biggies.?.

So sweet to see Real Madrid school the entire english league one after another. For a decade now. EPL- English prostitute league

they say they're protecting football fans and they look who buying the the league when Abramovich Buy the club he is was a Russian criminal what they say and what they do two different things were ever money involved they don't give a dime they are rats they bribe people around and the deal is done

Al Jazeera bribed FIFA 400 million dollars for Qatar World Cup broadcasting rights. Qatar owns Al Jazeera.

Al Jazeera undoubtedly is at the top of the investigative journalism sphere.

Can’t wait for the Super League !! All these free loaders moaning because they are greedy and don’t want to work.

Al Jazeera we need you to come investigate the mining industry in our country (Namibia). There's some corruption happening in the industry. You did a great job on fishrot.

Good thing reporters in Algeria are being allowed to report on this sort of thing going on in the world of sports. I doubt that all men who sell professional sport teams were all born in the U.K.

My question is, how long has this being going on?? Greedy criminals.

there was a time British TV did Investigative journalism like this, what happened?

The inclusion of PKK as the "villains" is weird.

Be great to see a similar investigation in corruption in the tory government just focusing on the past few years , Boris Hancock mogg and co and now truss and the dodgy chancellor just imagine how much money they all have made for their friends and planked for themselves in the caymans.

Hmm. Doesn't surprise me. But it's a pity. (And haven't working class fans been gradually priced out of football since the 1990s, though?)
