Daily Record takes Charlotte Fakeover revelations mainstream
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.
