The Etihad club strongly denies the charges, and its lawyers argued during the 2024 hearing that the funding had come from the Abu Dhabi government. However, this was rejected by the independent commission.
In its judgment, the commission “concluded that it was an explanation that the club had concocted well after the event in an attempt to conceal the realities of the Disguised Funding Scheme.”
