The case, which stems from a 2023 Premier League referral, examined over 100 alleged rule violations covering nine seasons (2009-2018). The commission's verdict covers matters including financial fair play breaches, failure to provide accurate financial information, and breaches of UEFA regulations. The ruling carries potentially severe consequences for the club, which could include points deductions, transfer restrictions, or other sanctions. The full findings and any penalties are expected to be published, with City likely to appeal.
