GENEVA (AP) -The Chechen owner of Swiss club Neuchatel Xamax, Bulat Chagaev, faces two criminal inquiries into alleged forgery of an American bank document.
Prosecutors in Geneva and Neuchatel suspect Chagaev of submitting a fraudulent Bank of America letter to a bankruptcy hearing last week which purported to prove he had $35 million in a New York account.
Geneva prosecutor Yves Bertossa was quoted by Swiss broadcaster TSR confirming that documents have been seized at the city office of Chagaev's trading company.
Bertossa was reported as saying the probe concerns possible money-laundering offenses.
The bankruptcy hearing in Neuchatel was forced by a creditor who claims he is owed 400,000 Swiss francs ($446,000) from a player transfer.
