The Court of Arbitration for Sport has confirmed Manchester City have appealed against UEFA’s investigation into alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations.
City were alleged to have broken rules relating to FFP, third-party ownership and youth player recruitment in articles by German publication Der Spiegel, which drew upon documents purportedly obtained by whistleblowers Football Leaks.
UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body opened a probe into the club in March, with former Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme leading as chief investigator but City slammed the move, describing it as a “hostile process”.
The organisation has now confirmed that the Premier League champions have taken their appeal against the investigation to Court of Arbitration for Sports.
