Cardiff City have been ordered to pay the final instalments of Emiliano Sala's transfer fee to FC Nantes just hours after the French club's CEO was taken into police custody.
Franck Kita, Nantes' General Director and son of the club's president and owner Waldemar Kita, was placed in custody on Thursday along with agents Bakari Sanogo and Joaquim Batica.
The men have been taken in by authorities as part of an investigation opened last year by the Rennes’ Specialised Interregional Court into activity involving unlicensed agents, forgery, misuse of corporate assets, money laundering, and tax evasion.
