davieG Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/09/11/christophe-henrotay-agent-of-courtois-and-tielemans-arrested/ A big-name football agent has reportedly been arrested in Monaco over potentially dodgy transfer activity. The agent in question is Christophe Henrotay, who represents Real Madrid and former Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans. According to HLN, Henrotay has been arrested in Monaco over money laundering relating to player sales in football. Henrotay also represents other members of the Belgian national team, so one imagines this story could have big repercussions for a number of Europe’s top footballers. The report explains that Henrotay has been detained and will face questioning on Thursday over these serious allegations. It remains to be seen if he will definitely be found guilty of any wrongdoing, but the likes of Courtois and Tielemans may have reason to worry about who represents them. Henrotay was notably involved in bringing Tielemans to Leicester City this summer, while Courtois left Chelsea for current club Real Madrid last year.
Foxxed Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 "May have reason to worry?" Bullshit vague clickbait journalism.
Suzie the Fox Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2019/09/11/5d78f16322601d1b038b4605.html As part of an ongoing investigation into corruption within football, Thibaut Courtois' agent, Christophe Henrotay, has been arrested in Monaco after having been previously accused of money laundering and corruption. Henrotay is one of seven people involved in football who was arrested on Wednesday as the investigation reached a definitive point. The aforementioned agent is also linked with Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, who seemed set to leave China in the summer although a high-profile move never materialised. "The events mainly affect money laundering and private corruption operations in the transfers of football players," the Belgian federal prosecutor said in a statement. Two of the people arrested are a player agent based in Monaco and his assistant who worked in Liege, Belgium. Henrotay is known to have strong connections to Belgian football and had previously represent Youri Tielemans, now at Leicester City.
urban.spaceman Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 Probably nothing to do with us if Kristof is right, and he rarely isn't.
yorkie1999 Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 Bang him up for life and give us back his 10%. Greedy agents.
ALC Fox Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 As long as Youri and Leicester weren't involved with any wrongdoing, he should be alright. I know we've had our moments in recent years with FFP and shell companies but the club's owners and those high up at the club (Whelan, Rudkin, etc.) do have a certain image to uphold, and they know there's a lot of goodwill towards them among our fans, the city in general, football as a whole and other spheres of influence such as the royal families of the UK and Thailand. So, for their sakes, and ours as fans, I do hope the club and Youri aren't involved. Hopefully it's just limited to the Mitrovic to Newcastle deal.

A Belgian investigating judge is also said to be present, and there is still a possibility that an international arrest warrant could be issued. The name of the second person has also been revealed by RTBF, and that is Christophe Cheniaux, who is Henrotay’s brother-in-law and one of his main collaborators. Prior to this, the website explain the renowned Belgian agent was already in a dispute after one of his former collaborators, Peter Smeets, accused Henrotay of pocketing a €6m commission from Youri Tielemans’ transfer to Monaco, with Smeets filing a complaint about the issue. The Leicester midfielder has since stopped working with Henrotay, who also used to be the agent of renowned players such as Romelu Lukaku, Leander Dendoncker and Michy Batshuayi. ...That’s a lot of commission for a 25m transfer I hope his new agent charged us less!
Izzy Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 Fackin agents. A sh1t stain on the modern game.
Mint23 Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 Didn’t Pogba’s agent get something along the lines of £35m for the deal taking him to Utd, he should be arrested for fraud of the highest order
Trav Le Bleu Posted 11 September 2019 Posted 11 September 2019 Anyone else read this thread title as Agent of Real Madrid, and Leicester star...? Had me panicked!

Stadt Posted 12 September 2019 Posted 12 September 2019 We're about due a scandal aren't we? I reckon it'll be someone unexpected like Albrighton. Yeah that's it, a video will emerge of Marc shoving mountains of coke up his hooter off Chris Iwelumo's arse at Legoland

Collymore Posted 12 September 2019 Posted 12 September 2019 Well it sounds like he's laundering money for tax reasons - not the same situation as that fiasco that involved Arry and Portsmouth... So nothing to do with our club.

A sh1t stain on the modern game. Couldn't agree more. I lived in London for a short while and got to know a sports agent, and he talked about his clients as 'pieces of meat'. He had no respect or regard for them whatsoever, and he represented some huge sports names. It was all about how much he could fleece out of them and the clubs. Like corporate sponsorship and VAR it's ripping the soul from football.
