PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[paulchapo]

Then gets prosecuted for tax evasion

Do you really think anyone is that stupid?

I'm no legal expert but there must be ways we could have bunged him off the books and paid his tax on that bung.

If true are we not then implying the charges are legit but someone grassed us up?

If they said here is my pay cheque from January 2013 and here is an additional 500k paid into my account from an Abu Dhabi bank account, that would be pretty damming.
