A man who owned a football club in the UK has been sentenced to five years in a United Arab Emirates jail for stealing 5 million pounds from his wife to fund the purchase of the club.
The Portsmouth Football Club is a professional football club in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, which plays in League One, the third tier of English football.
Sulaiman Al Fahim owned Portsmouth for six weeks in 2009.
The BBC reports the wife discovered the money was missing after the returns she had expected from a high-interest rate account she opened in 2009 did not come in.
