Yasin Patel instructed by footballer on betting allegations

Yasin Patel has been instructed by a footballer to represent him in proceedings regarding serious betting allegations.

Betting by high-profile footballers has been the subject of intense media scrutiny and investigation by the authorities, various governing bodies, betting companies and personnel in recent months, including cases and investigations such as that of the Newcastle United player Sandro Tonali and Lucas Paqueta of West Ham United.

Yasin’s client has been accused of placing bets on football matches when banned from doing so due to betting rules. He has been interviewed with regards to the bets and various factors relating to them.

As a leading Criminal Defence and Sports Barrister at Church Court Chambers and a Director of SLAM Global, Yasin has represented many athletes and sports players on fixing, betting and corruption matters.
