Overview
To most people, Farhad Moshiri appears to be a businessman, and a successful one at that – he has featured on the Sunday Times Rich List for more than a decade and is the owner of palatial, multi-million pound properties across London and Europe. When he acquired Everton Football Club with his business partner, the Russian-Uzbek oligarch Alisher Usmanov, many believed that Moshiri had merely received a top up to his own fortune from an even richer, more successful silent partner. That was a lie.
Mosihri is in fact a puppet, an unremarkable London bookkeeper transformed into a billionaire by Usmanov, whose connections to Soviet organised crime and the KGB date back to the 1980s. Simon Goodley unpicks the web of their relationship, uncovering political obfuscation and financial espionage on a grand scale through tenacious investigations and covert meetings with secret sources and spies.
Frontman takes readers behind the scenes of this shocking story for the first time, revealing how two men conned the British public, corrupted UK financial regulations and caused the near-collapse of one of the most storied clubs in the world's best known football league.
