Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich held secret investments in footballers not owned by his club, a bbc investigation has discovered.
The players included the Peruvian winger Andre Carrillo, who turned out against Chelsea in Champions League matches in 2014.
He held rights in the players through a company based in the British Virgin Islands.
A leak of documents - banks' "suspicious activity reports" - that have been called the FinCEN Files and seen by BBC Panorama - has revealed that Mr Abramovich is behind an offshore company called Leiston Holdings.
In December 2016, a suspicious activity report (SAR) was filed about Mr Abramovich.
The SAR said many of the shell companies were "owned by Roman Abramovich… one of Russia's most powerful oligarchs with close ties to Moscow & Vladimir Putin".
This, now I understand why Chelsea should be banned from PL unless they come out clean just another way that Russia Putin can launder their dirty money.
