The number of charges levelled against Manchester City by the Premier League has increased from 115 to 130, following the conclusion of last week’s hearing into alleged financial breaches.
Both City and the Premier League have now submitted their final statements, with a three-person independent panel set to spend time reviewing the case before reaching a verdict.
Softfootball understands the charges span 14 years, covering alleged breaches related to sponsorships, spending, and inaccurate financial reporting.
According to reports from The Metro, the total climbed to 130 due to confusion surrounding how the Premier League originally broke down the charges when the case was first announced.
A decision is expected within six to eight weeks, though an appeal from the losing side is considered highly likely regardless of the outcome.
The Premier League has already spent close to £50m on legal costs pursuing the case, while City continue to insist they possess irrefutable evidence to clear their name.
