Watford and Mogi Bayat. A match made in corruption
luorns.substack.com
Nothing like a slightly misleading headline to kick us off, although both parties in The Pozzo’s and Mogi Bayat have been convicted and continuously investigated for match fixing and money laundering. Anyway, this isn’t an article slating Watford for once, it’s more of an awareness piece into the kind of person Watford are dealing with in Mogi Bayat, and if you think it’s something you want going at the club. The one thing that can’t be argued is Gino Pozzo’s main concern is himself, Watford comes second — which is applicable to every owner ever in football, but it’s evident now that Gino Pozzo doesn’t have Watford’s best interests at heart. Moving on to Mogi, or Arnaud as he likes to be known as; became a player broker at the end of 2009 — mainly taking an interest in Belgian club Sporting Charleroi, where his two brothers are also involved. Fast forward 10 years and Mogi is being arrested for match fixing and money laundering, notably following the match between Anderlecht and Club Brugge in the 17/18 season — Police also seized the contracts of Obbi Oulare, Michel Preudhomme and Dino Arslanagic: all three players under the Creative & Management Group. Mogi is still being investigated for money laundering and fraud with a trial date set for 2023 in Antwerp, with one source saying to a Belgian newspaper that a conviction is “very likely” and that his actions are ludicrous, describing it as “the evil is deep with Mogi.”
