A Brazilian waiter dressed up as an Arab Sheik defrauded Getafe football club in a million € agreement. Getafe cancelled the agreement last April after detecting that the cheques from the Arabs, who were going to purchase the club, had no funds. The operation was based in Barcelona, where the Mossos d’Esquadra have broken up a network of alleged fraudsters who have specialised in football clubs with false promises of large investments from Arab Sheiks. Seven arrests have been made. Getafe was the main victim although One of the disguises used - Photo Mossos d'Esquadra contacts had also been made with Espanyol, with the club’s previous Chairman, Daviel Sánchez Llibre, even travelling to Dubai. The fraudsters passed themselves off as intermediaries, in exchange for large commissions, convincing the clubs that the Arabs would make large investments. When the clubs realised that they had been had, the fraudsters were long gone.
