Nottingham Forest Boss Accused of Forming a Criminal Organization in Sports

Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos, is facing serious accusations from Greek law enforcement, putting him under significant scrutiny.

Details: According to Daily Mail, Marinakis and several officials from the Piraeus-based club have been implicated in an investigation regarding the formation of a criminal organization in football. This group has been accused of involvement in the killing of police officer Giorgos Liggeridis last year during a volleyball match between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.

Nottingham Forest has not commented on the situation, but Olympiacos released a statement describing the allegations as an act of blackmail aimed at tarnishing both the club and Marinakis himself.

Reminder: In October, Nottingham Forest was fined £750,000 for controversial posts made on the club’s social media accounts.
