This is reported by The Athletic, which says that no penalty has yet been imposed.
The punishment scale includes everything from a reprimand and fine to a points deduction - and even relegation from the Premier League. In the event of a points deduction, the team can also lose titles.
During the period in which the financial crimes were allegedly committed, Manchester City won the Premier League three times, the FA Cup twice, the League Cup four times and also the Community Shield.
The crimes allegedly occurred between 2009 and 2018. In 2023, an independent investigation commissioned by the Premier League concluded that City had breached the league's regulations on 115 counts between 2009 and 2018. In September 2024, the club's hearing began.
Manchester City denies the allegations and is expected to appeal.
