The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office investigation to Peter Limfirst shareholder from Valenciafor document falsification and money laundering. This was announced by Miguel Zorío, former vice president of the club and complainant of the situation, who assured that, “if it were proven”, it would be shown that Meriton charged in Valencia more than 23 million euros between 2022 and 2023 for “unaccounted for services and figures”.
Zorío, in a statement, explained that the Valencia Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office opened a procedure and is questioning the people investigated after the complaint was filed. The investigation is, as confirmed by various judicial sources, in an embryonic phase and information is being collected on the accusations and the documentation presented by Zorío. All, to see if it’s archived or continued with more in-depth research.
Zorío, very contrary to Lim’s leadership, has already filed several archived complaints but he emphasizes that the documentation he provided “would demonstrate that in the years 2022 and 2023, the company Meriton Holdings Ltd, owner of the majority of the shares of the club in the town of Turia, invoiced the club an amount greater than 23 million eurosfor services and with figures that do not appear in the accounts that the company presented to the 2023 general meeting.”
“The sums could have been used by Meriton to allegedly illicitly recover the loan capitalized in 2022 of 17,600,000 euros and also pays Layhoon Chan’s salariespresident of the che entity, in Asia. The highest representative of Valencia has not declared any income in Spain, which is demonstrated by the documents sent,” Zorío continues.
Connection to Barcelona bazaar under investigation
The former vice-president continued in his statement: “Another surprising and very suspicious fact is the club’s commercial relationship with a Chinese goods bazaar located in a neighborhood on the outskirts of Barcelona. More precisely, with the company CHZ Europe Trade SL and the HI HA DE bazaar. .TOT, which last year moved almost three million euros in trade with Valencia.
“Peter Lim and Lay Hoon must explain What types of services does Valencia offer at a bazaar? from the outskirts of Barcelona to raise almost three million euros”, insists Miguel Zorío.
Demands to paralyze the treatment of the Nou Mestalla
And he also demands that the City Hall “immediately paralyzes the treatment of the new urban ‘plot’ of Nou Mestalla. Valencian businessmen “They must put a sanitary cordon on the person indicted.” According to him, “the days of political and commercial blessing in Valencia must now end for Peter Lim and his management team.”
“It has been very hard work, which has lasted many years, but which finally seems to be bearing fruit. Peter Lim and his entire environment, both economic and sporting, are being investigated by the Valencia Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office”, Zorio finishes.
