Chelsea's owner, Paulie, has found that the club's accounts are in disarray, and has taken the initiative to report to the English FA and UEFA in the middle of this year. According to The Times, the FA is investigating Chelsea's acquisition of Willian and Idoğu in 2013, and Chelsea has paid a mysterious "third party", which is suspected of involving irregularities and may result in a penalty and demerit points.
Reports suggest that Chelsea bought Brazilian flanker Julian for 30 million pounds from Russian club Anzhi 10 years ago, and then signed Anzhi striker Idoğu for 2 million pounds a year later, when Chelsea's owner was Russian oilman Abramovich. However, after Paulie took over, he found that some of the money other than the transfer fee had gone to a mysterious third party in Russia and had not been included in the official accounts, and the English FA has launched an investigation.
