Scam around the transfer of Eden Hazard: a scam narrowly foiled!


She would have victimized Real, the Tubize club and the German bank IBB around the compensation provided by Fifa for the training of Eden when he was 12 and 13 years old.

A possible scam of 600,000 euros, mounted around Eden Hazard, and which would have made the victims of Real Madrid, a German bank and the AFC Tubize where Eden made his debut, was thwarted. Eden Hazard, on the other hand, was not informed of the battle of business lawyers which took place this summer between Tubize, Madrid and Friedrichsafen, where the headquarters of the Internationales Bankenhaus Bodensee are located. The information is confirmed by the advice of the amateur club of Tubize, the specialist lawyer Guy San Bartolome.

The case revolves around the two years of training of Eden Hazard in the Brabant club, and his transfer by Chelsea to Real for the sum of 160 million euros. The amount has visibly whetted the appetites of Korean nationals.

Fifa prescribes that on each transfer, a so-called training compensation is due by the acquiring club to the club (s) having participated in the training of the footballer between his 12 years and his completed 23 years. The compensation, set at 5% of the transfer, is to be shared between the various clubs from the very beginnings of the athlete. It is 0.25%, per year, between 12 and 15 years old; and 0.50%, per year, between 16 and 23 years old.

Little Eden was 4 and a half years old when he landed in 1995 at the Royal Stade Brainois, which he left in 2003: too young to be worth the compensation to the Brainois club, which had nevertheless done so much for eight seasons. The future star is now 12 and 13 years old when Tubize accommodates her, from 2003, for two seasons which count on the other hand.

When Chelsea transfers Eden to Real for 160 million, Tubize knows that he will receive twice 0.25%, which is still 800,000 euros. The Madrid club must not pay them all at once, but in proportion to the payments to Chelsea. Real, paying 40 million in 2019, 56 million in 2020 and the remaining 64 million in 2021, must pay 200,000 euros to Tubize in 2019, 280,000 in 2020 and 320,000 in 2021.

The first installment was paid without problem to Tubize. It was after the first payment that what appears to be an attempted fraud would have been committed, explains Me San Bartolome, through a company operated by Koreans, called AFC Tubize SA. This company would have presented itself to the IBB bank as the holder of the claim for compensation due by Real on the training of young Eden Hazard. The German bank would have bought the debt and, in good faith, asked Real to pay it the 280,000 euros and 320,000 euros due in 2020 and 2021.
