As FS posted last night, Interpol cannot do anything to Rizvi in countries that have do not have extradition treaties with Indonesia. No EU country can extradite Rizvi to Indonesia as they have the death penalty.

 

Maybe we could bring in the CIA and a secret flight to Indonesia, rendition style.

That or a Bear with a slow boat to Asia !!

 

Helping put criminals where they should be.

BELEAGUERED Rangers hope to escape another financial collapse by inviting a Malaysian moneyman – who already owns a football club – to pump money into Ibrox.

 

Record Sport can reveal Datuk Faizoull Bin Ahmad is the potential sugar daddy who has been given the full VIP treatment over a 48-hour visit to Glasgow as the crisis-hit club scrambles to stave off a second financial collapse in two-and-a-half years.

 

Our exclusive pictures show a relaxed Bin Ahmad and two associates strolling through Glasgow city centre yesterday – after lunching with Rangers director Sandy Easdale and Rafat Rizvi, the Interpol-wanted fraudster with links to the disgraced Charles Green regime.

 

We can also reveal Bin Ahmad and his group were given a guided tour of Ibrox on Monday before staying overnight at the plush Mar Hall Hotel in Renfrewshire.

 

Bin Ahmad and Rizvi were then escorted around Murray Park by Easdale yesterday morning before all five men were driven into the city centre in two identical Range Rovers for a meal.

 

Bin Ahmad is a non-independent and non-executive director of Malaysian firm Felda Global Ventures (FGV) which has links with the country’s government.

 

In 2012 the company, which makes its money from palm oil, rubber and sugar, raised a reported £3.1billion from selling shares in an initial public offering in the second largest IPO in the world after Facebook.

 

 

Bin Ahmad is also chairman of his company’s own Malaysian Super League football club, Felda United, which is bankrolled by the firm.

 

He has been the Director General of Felda since 2012 and is understood to be a football fanatic. He also has a Masters degree in Public Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University in the USA.

 

Rangers are in desperate need of a cash injection and are urgently attempting to cobble together £4million from an emergency share issue which will close tomorrow at 11am.

 

If this city fire sale – which has not been underwritten – fails to raise enough cash then the club faces the prospect of insolvency and being unable to meet the next wage bill, which is due on the last Thursday of this month.

 

The club is also being torn apart internally by a boardroom civil war with chief executive Graham Wallace on one side and bus tycoon Easdale on the other.

 

Wallace is understood to be in favour a potential bailout from lifelong Rangers fan Dave King, allowing the South Africa-based businessman to buy control of the club after an AGM in October.

 

Easdale has been supporting a rival power grab from controversial Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, another old ally and investor in Green’s ruinous reign.

 

Record Sport revealed last week that Ashley’s Sports Direct firm had bought the naming rights to Ibrox Stadium for just £1 in a secret deal with Green , spanning back two years.

 

Easdale also travelled down south on Ashley’s private helicopter earlier this month to hold face-to-face discussions with the Londoner over the deepening Rangers cash crisis which threatens Sports Direct’s lucrative seven-year retail deal.

 

Ashley had been asked to underwrite the current share issue but backed out after being warned the SFA will not allow him to own more than 10 per cent of the Ibrox club.

 

Now Easdale appears to be looking further afield for a potential buyer and one who might be able to outgun King in the battle for control of the club.

Do we have some comedians moonlighting as club spokesmen?

 

A club spokesman told STV: "Rangers this week welcomed a delegation of Malaysian businessmen led by Datuk Faizoull Bin Ahmad, chairman of the Malaysian Super League football club Felda United.

 

"The visit was organised as part of on-going discussions between Rangers and Felda United with regard to a potential youth development partnership.

 

"It was at the request of Mr Bin Ahmad that the trip was kept confidential. While he was with us, Mr Bin Ahmad also looked at our community and social inclusion strategies.

 

“Mr Rafat Rizvi arrived with the Malaysian delegation without our prior knowledge. He is an advisor to Mr Bin Ahmad.

 

"Subsequent media reports suggesting Mr Bin Ahmad is in discussions with Rangers regarding anything other than youth development are untrue."
