Cops ready to grill Charles Green over former Rangers owner's controversial Ibrox takeover

 

By Keith Jackson

 

THE same team of detectives who flew Sevim Cesim in from Marseille have questions to put to the former Rangers owner.

 

FORMER Rangers owner Charles Green will tomorrow be grilled by detectives probing the club’s financial meltdown.

 

The Daily Record exclusively revealed in August how Police Scotland had stepped up their probe into Green’s reign and his controversial take-over of the Ibrox club after key whistleblower, French businesswoman Sevim Cesim, arrived in Glasgow for an interview.

 

Cesim acted as company secretary after Green bought the club’s assets for a knockdown £5.5million in 2012 and played a role in preparing the share issue later that year which coined in more than £22million.

 

Now the same team of cops who flew her in from Marseille have questions to put to Yorkshireman Green, who is expected to hand himself in to a police station in Glasgow this morning after returning to the city yesterday.

 

It’s thought that Green’s Rangers burned through an astonishing £70m in less than 18 months following his surprise buy-out with administrators Duff and Phelps.

 

A team of officers have spent two years probing the events that led to Rangers’ collapse under previous owner Craig Whyte in February 2012 – and the financial chaos which followed under Green.

 

Whyte bought the club from Sir David Murray in May 2011 only to plunge them into administration nine months later. After Rangers were liquidated, Green and his team bought the club’s assets in a deal with Duff & Phelps.

 

Whyte was arrested and charged with fraud in November last year.

 

Duff & Phelps trio David Whitehouse, Paul Clark and David Grier face charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

 

Now speculation is mounting that 62-year-old Green could be charged by police and detained in custody overnight.

 

The former chief executive – who retired to a chateux in Normandy after being axed by the club – was back in Britain yesterday as his racehorse named ‘Ibrox’ finished fifth in a race at Chepstow.

If Whyte,Green & others are charged & found guilty then I hope they face the consequences for what they did.

 

But we cannot overlook the roles played by both LBG & HMRC in all of this. Had it not been for these two organisations then there wouldhave been no Craig Whyte or CharlesGreen.They effectively made Rangers unsellable to reputable buyers

 

Did LBG force SDM to sell to Whyte? If so why, especially when thereafter they withdrew all credit facilities to Whyte making the business virtually unworkable. And did Muir get £1m in the process? Why? Consider too that Rangers £18m bankdebt was around 3 percent of the MIH debt of £750m

 

And what of HMRC chasing a fictitious EBT tax bill of anything between £24m to £75m depending upon which paper you read? So flawed it failed both its own internal FTTT & UTTT appeals.

 

The real villians are those within these organisations IMO with a passionate hatred of our great club who mis-used their positions to inflict damage. And, of course, the political influence too. Nearly forgot that

I still believe there should be a public inquiry into all of this.

Is there any way any of this could come back to bite us in the arse? If CG did something dodgy could that come back against the current company?

I dont want to celebrate and then we figure out that they can come back on us for compensation or whatever.

I doubt we'll know until we know.

The politicians in this country will do all they can to prevent a public enquiry. Especially lhabour ones. We know who they are though.

you can rest assured if he did the SPL and SFA will be leaping with delight so they can punish the club again

Not if LBG forced him to sell to Whyte. That was never in Rangers best interests. AJ & PM said so vociferously at the time. They were proved correct.
