Leaked documents suggest Manchester City evaded £12m in tax via Roberto Mancini's dual contract
Leaked documents from the Premier League’s independent commission suggest Manchester City avoided approximately £12m in UK income tax and National Insurance by paying former manager Roberto Mancini through a 'sham' consultancy contract with Al Jazira. The arrangement, which involved a net salary from City and a tax-free consultancy fee from a club owned by the same Sheikh, could trigger HMRC inquiries and criminal investigations. Manchester City has lodged an appeal against its guilty verdict, while Etihad Airways threatens legal action against the league over the findings.
