- HMRC pursued former players over failed investments
- Danny Murphy and Brian Deane among those involved
Politicians, campaigners and former footballers have protested at the “financial grooming” of Premier League stars who claim they were persuaded to put their money into failed investment schemes that led to them being accused of tax avoidance and faced with enormous penalties from HM Revenue & Customs.
A host of peers, MPs, lawyers and experts in policing and tax laws gathered in Westminster on Monday night to hear from alleged victims of investment and pension fraud and their subsequent treatment by HMRC.
