LaLiga president Javier Tebas has hit out at Manchester City and the Premier League after the Blues were charged with dozens of breaches of financial rules.
City are alleged to have breached league rules requiring provision "in utmost good faith" of "accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position". The Premier League states the accurate financial information required relates to "revenue (including sponsorship revenue), its related parties and its operating costs".
Some of the alleged breaches are related to rules which require clubs to co-operate and assist the league with their investigations. Should alleged breaches of league rules be proven, sanctions range from a reprimand through to potential points deductions and - potentially - expulsion from the competition.

In February 2020, the Blues were banned from UEFA competitions for two years by European football's governing body for alleged breaches of its FFP regulations. However, in July of the same year, the sanction was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Tebas has waged war on City with accusations of rule breaches on numerous occasions in the past, with the LaLiga chief claiming in 2020 that "the majority" of people involved in European football believe City breached UEFA financial fair play rules. He also declared the CAS "dead" following the Blues' successful appeal against a two-year ban from European club football.
On Monday, he took to Twitter to express his thoughts after City were charged by the Premier League with dozens of breaches of financial rules.
He tweeted: "On 9-5-2017 we denounced in Soccerex Manchester the breaches of the @ManCity and @PSG_espanol of financial fair play. It is incredible that the @premierleague It took years to find out. We denounce that there are more cases, will it take so many years too?"
Tebas has also previously claimed that City have used fictitious sponsors and inflated naming-rights deals to boost their income.
