This Friday, Eagle Football Holdings announced a first fundraising before a future listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The initiative comes from the London-based company UCEA Capital Partners, one of whose directors works closely with a criminal currently imprisoned in Brazil.
In view of the threats made by the DNCG, it is clear that the arguments presented by John Textor were not convincing. Olympique Lyonnais notably suffered an administrative demotion in Ligue 2. A serious blow of pressure from the financial policeman who is awaiting more concrete financial guarantees, like the good news announced by Eagle Football Holdings on Friday.
The parent company of the Rhone club has indeed carried out an initial fundraising with a view to a future listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The company UCEA Capital Partners, which mainly invests in the energy, health, sports and technology sectors, has agreed to join John Textor's camp. “ This merger gives us a head start on our IPO intentionswelcomed the American holding company in a press release. We are proud to have such a respected investor join us as we execute strategies to complement our global network of clubs. »
Texting with a prisoner's collaborator
The problem for John Textor is that this new collaboration indirectly links him to a well-known criminal in Brazil. Because on its board of directors, the company UCEA Capital Partners has a certain Rahul Metha, associate of Rogério Andrade at Moutaim Financial Corp. The name of Rogério Andrade poses a problem given that this bookmaker is currently in prison on suspicion of having ordered the assassination in 2020 of Fernando Iggnácio, a competitor for the takeover of the family business. In the emergency, John Textor perhaps did not consider it necessary to find out about his new allies.
