the premier league clubs that responded said deals were ended early, were not renewed, or that allegations against the potential scam companies only came after the sponsorship deals had ended. and seville fc told us that once the contract ended there was no more contact with the company. while these shiny videos may be history, no one to date from the companies has been prosecuted for these scams. one of the reasons is that criminal investigations are highly complex, expensive, and the scammers seem to always be one step ahead. in britain, none of the victims we've spoken to have had their cases pursued by the police. 0liver was a reporter in the former soviet union but now writes about money laundering and the offshore world. am i surprised to hear that the british police have done nothing about these reports? no, that is wearily familiar.
