Paqueta Charged By The FA.

He might not have made any money out of it. He’s not betted personally.

If guilty, he’s spot fixed and given information to people in his home town for them to win money.

It’s far more serious than what Toney and Tonoli did. It’s illegal and could send him to prison as well as a lengthy football ban.

Exactly this. It’s also important to remember that organised crime is big business where he is from and there is potential for him and his family to be pressured in to undertaking this scheme.

I doubt it had anything to do with him personally financially benefitting.

I deny all charges and am seeking legal council regarding appropriate counter litigation to clear my name.

Real reason FA charged Lucas Paqueta and it's not curtains yet

There has been an inference that Paqueta will be found guilty

this really isn't for the PL to sort out in their usual slapdash way. This is a police matter and if they decide there's evidence then they charge him and it goes to a proper court only then can the PL charge him (only paperwork needed really as the court has done the work for you). This is a man's life that's about to be ruined, he's needs a proper trial.
 
If that’s what this is, then it’s taking waaaaaay too long to sort this out. It’s inept. Like our 115 charges either shit or get off the pot. Bring on the evidence or !!

You are forgetting that football authorities are cunts.

Poverty is rife in Brazil as is crime. He could have been trying to help poor mates out or perhaps some criminal group put pressure on him or his family.

Maybe but the guy has destroyed his career and with it could end up back on the streets like his mates.

I wonder when £150k a week or whatever he’s likely on becomes not enough?

When he sees players like Rashford on £350,000.00 a week.

The problem with footballers (as well as the majority of the human race) is that there isn't enough money on the planet that will fill that void.

Utter nonsense. Weird you used him as the example.

The point I was making is in relation to your question (albeit rhetorical) when is £150K a week not enough?

These players (like most people in other walks of life) will always compare what they earn with others.

Although most of us cannot relate to earning a nine figure income these lads can and do. Not only that, it doesn't take them long to get use to spending it. When they see other players Rashford (for example, who I think is one of the most overated Players in the league) earning twice his salary he might be forgiven for thinking he's under earning (relatatively speaking).

I'm not condoning what he has "allegedly" done. I'm just pointing out that for some people £1M a week isn't enough. If it was then all the world's billionaires would have retired by now.

I get that, hopefully the money he's earned so far will see him okay. If he's just been a greedy bugger then I've no sympathy, but I've visited Brazil and him being pressured is a viable reason. If I was him I'd certainly use that as my defence.

While I get the point you're making, I doubt this has anything to do with earning more money for himself. I wouldn't have even thought there's much money to be made from betting on yellow cards anyway, certainly not as a percentage of 150K.
 
Jesus
It says the bets were placed on an island off Rio……….a place called Paquetta island!!!!!
Incredible
