The Daily Record has picked up on the internet tapes broadcast by Charlotte Fakeover to reveal that Charles Green held investment talks with Rafat Rizvi who is on Interpol’s most wanted list.
Charlotte Fakeover published the tapes a fortnight ago but until today the freely available material has been avoided by any mainstream news publication.
According to the Record, Rizvi is wanted by Interpol for ‘corruption, money laundering and banking crime’ over his alleged role in the collapse of a bank in Indonesia.
Over the last month Charlotte Fakeover has released a vast range of documents ranging from Craig Whyte’s thoughts on Ally McCoist through to in-depth conversations involving Green, Imrad Ahmed, Brian Stockbridge and Craig Whyte.
Finance director Stockbridge is under attack in today’s Record article with the role of the Green appointed financial guru under inspection in the two hour long tapes.
Stockbridge and Ahmed are deep in conversation over the investment from Rizvi with Stockbridge showing some concern about the impact of Rizvi’s role becoming public.
However Ahmad interrupts and reassures his business partner: “There’s no connection. Charles is going to have to decide to say what he says. I’m not going to coach him.
“Personally, I’d tell the truth. Yeah, you know, I’ve worked with Rafat in the past, I’ve never acted for him while he was CEO but the company I took on he had to step down from as CEO because he was in disgrace.”
Last month the SFA sent a letter to Ibrox following claims from Craig Whyte that Green was his front man and that the former billionaire from Motherwell had a legal claim over Ibrox and Murray Park.
An internal investigation by the Third Division champions gave the club a clean bill of health with the SFA placing their trust in those findings.
The talks with Rizvi took place before Rangers moved into liquidation but the exact ownership of shares in the newly formed Rangers International remain a closely guarded secret.
Before being awarded a licence by the SFA last year, as part of the highly secretive five way agreement, it was believed that full disclosure of the new clubs ownership was required before Stewart Regan awarded the playing licence.
Any further revelations about investors from Charlotte Fakeover are bound to place the spotlight on the SFA who are likely to urge everyone to move on for the good of Scottish football.
Two weeks ago former Rangers and Hearts director Campbell Ogilvie was re-elected as president of the SFA.

I’ve a deep loathing for the Rancid Record they’ve their agenda to follow follow can’t admit Sevco are a new club.
I honestly didn’t know that there was collusion between Whyte and Green…..
I took the findings of the internal investigation, at the Govan Club, at face value and was happy to accept their verdict.
You’ll be telling me next that Nimmo Smith was advised wrongly….that the Govan Club didn’t in fact submit three years audited accounts as required, in order to get a license….
And that the SFA are bending the rules in their favour….
This has come as such a shock….
Typical Daily Record, quite happy to use Charlotte’s evidence when it suits them.
Stockbridge is considered an enemy within by Walter Smith and others so the Record are happy to do Watty a solid and use Charlotte’s revelations to turn the heat up on him.
If this was a genuine attempt at exposing truth then that would be great but since they aren’t using any of the other evidence released by Charlotte, you know, the stuff about ‘alleged’ SFA collusion, journalist collusion etc etc, then they are clearly not interested in the truth, they are merely operating as a PR mouthpiece for a faction within the Ibrox boardroom, again.
Excellent post Andy…says it all.
spot on, just use the info adhoc when it suits
move along Timmy nothing to see here
Remember the scene from Animal House where Kevin Bacon is screaming.. ‘don’t panic.. all is well!’ That’s the SFA!
The thing is the clueless, brass-necked cnuts at the rancid will probably claim the story as some sort of ‘EXCLUSIVE’!
Im prettg sure Osama is still alive and living under the ibrox boardroom table… This club should be ousted as they just keep on terrorising Scottish football! shameful! In saying that, they would probably just relocate to tynecastle on the cheap! Although, Osama wont like sharing a bunk with Romanov albeit…
Pal in a paper says there is a polis investigation into computer hacking after complaints from Whyte and Earley and appearance of Charlotte F. Says that’s why Ch 4 and papers wouldn’t touch Charlotte’s stuff. Why Record have suddenly changed tack to publish it and knife Stockbridge – one of their main recent sources of info – is strange.
The Sevco fans must be in despair.How much more scandal will be uncovered.?
