The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has accused scam kingpin Hushpuppi and his crew of perpetrating a £2 million scam of Italian Serie A team Lazio.
Lazio was reported to have paid the last installment of defender Stefan de Vrij’s transfer fee to scammers instead of the Dutch club Feyenoord in 2018.
Italian newspaper Il Tempo alleged that Lazio was defrauded after paying £1.75 million into an account in Holland operated by fraudsters who had knowledge of the transaction.
The fraudulent transaction took place through mail after the Serie A side received a mail believed to be from Feyenoord requesting, they pay the balance into an account provided.
United States Department of Justice equally revealed that Hushpuppi and his gang nearly scammed a premier league club prior to his arrest. They said that United States banks and companies lost $1.7b to Hushpuppi in 2019 alone.
Hushpuppi whose real name is Ramon Olorunwa Abbas appeared in court for the first time in Chicago on Friday on charges that could see him incarcerated for up to 20 years.
