A Belgian financial daily has brought attention to Anelka’s activities and connections in Belgium, leading to an investigation initiated by Belgian justice in 2011. The inquiry stems from a complaint lodged against individuals close to the Anelka couple, alleging fraud related to an investment through companies established in Delaware and Dubai.
The complainant claims to have been defrauded during this investment, prompting investigators to delve into the tax techniques employed, possibly indicating attempts to evade taxes through the use of tax havens. The companies in question were reportedly created in 2006 by an individual identified as “S.D.,” a friend of the Anelka couple known for involvement in forgeries and the use of forged documents, according to Belgian newspaper L’Echo.
This latest legal challenge adds to the ongoing troubles for the West Bromwich Albion striker, creating a potentially complex legal situation for Anelka, his wife, and their associates.
