A press report said today, Tuesday, that plans for the Saudi investment fund to acquire English club Newcastle may be hindered by the Premier League because of Saudi Arabia's involvement in the piracy file.
The English Premier League earlier accused Saudi authorities of being involved in the theft of the association's rights by refusing to support legal action against the network network "BQ", which illegally broadcasts to major leagues and major sporting events via the Arabsat satellite.
The English Premier League's efforts to launch a number of cases have failed to follow the "Bas Out Q" network, which has cost hundreds of millions of dollars in losses to rights holders.
The British Daily Mail newspaper said that the League may intervene to cancel the upcoming Saudi deal, based on existing laws that prevent the transfer of club ownership to parties convicted of crimes including the crime of piracy and the violation of intellectual property rights.
According to leaks circulated by media reports, the Saudi plan includes the acquisition of 80% of the shares of Newcastle Club for about 440 million euros, provided that the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is responsible for appointing an official to manage the club.
The Saudi Investment Fund is considered the key to Bin Salman to enter the world of sports and other investments.
