August 19th 2009

The Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Office (RCPO) has reviewed the results of a joint investigation by the City of London Police and HM Revenue & Customs into allegations of payments to individuals which have not been declared to HM Revenue & Customs.

It has been decided in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors that, in relation to two employees of Birmingham City Football Club, criminal proceedings will not be instituted against them.

A review of the evidence against individuals associated with another football club is being conducted, and a decision as to whether criminal proceedings will be instituted against them is yet to be made.
