Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak carries diplomatic immunity which could complicate any legal action in the aftermath of the Premier League’s case against the club.
An independent commission found City guilty of almost all of the Premier League’s charges, the majority of which related to serious breaches of the league’s financial regulations between 2009 and 2018. It found City created “sham” commercial contracts as part of schemes to inflate revenue and conceal costs by more than £900m over the nine-year period.
