 Peter Storrie has vowed to clear his name
|
Portsmouth Football Club chief executive Peter Storrie has been charged with tax evasion.
He is accused of concealing a signing-on fee for Amdy Faye by paying it via the midfielder's agent William McKay.
Mr Storrie is due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on 16 November, a spokesman for HM Revenue and Customs Prosecution Office said.
It is alleged that Mr Faye was paid a £250,000 signing-on fee on which tax and national insurance was not paid.
The charge relates to the transfer of the midfielder from French club Auxerre to Portsmouth for £1.5m in August 2003.
Operation Apprentice
Mr Storrie is alleged to have committed offence between 1 July 2003 and 12 August 2005.
It claimed the money was paid into the account of Mr McKay, who has also been questioned by police. He has not been charged with any offence.
Mr Storrie vowed to clear his name two weeks ago when he was informed of the decision to prosecute him.
He has been on bail since being arrested in November 2007 on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting.
The inquiry into Mr Storrie's finances was part of a wider investigation by City of London Police and HM Revenue and Customs into corruption in football, known as Operation Apprentice.
