Abstract

The central theme of this contribution is money laundering in professional football. First, it is clarified why the professional football sector is so appealing to persons and organizations for laundering their criminally acquired assets. Then it is examined how these risks have materialized in practice, based on a case study on money laundering activities in the top of english football. This case is centred on the financial adventures of birmingham fc. We will not only highlight the malpractices that took place, but we will also look for starting points to raise barriers against financial misconduct and criminal practices.keywordsmoney launderingprofessional footballsoccercrime-facilitative systemcrime riskscrime preventionnetherlandsunited kingdom.
