Man City-affiliated Girona accused of financial irregularities

Girona would've been a bonafide feelgood story of this season in La Liga as they are on course to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their history.

Unfortunately, this Catalan side is also part of the City Football Group, the multi-club conglomerate spearheaded by Man City.

Now, Girona have followed Pep Guardiola's side by facing claims of financial irregularities.

A lawyer accused Girona of tax evasion concerning the deal to sign striker Artem Dovbyk from Ukrainian side Dnipro-1. A complaint has already been lodged to UEFA.

If found guilty, Girona could face serious consequences, while the City Football Group might be forced to fight a fire in several places, as the 115 charges have not been dismissed yet.
