      Football agent ‘threatened to send enforcers to Chelsea FC director over £300k cut from Kurt Zouma transfer fee’

      by

      A FOOTBALL agent threatened to send enforcers to a Chelsea FC director over a £300,000 cut from Kurt Zouma’s transfer, a court heard.Saif Alrubie, 45, allegedly demanded payment from Marina Granovskaia after the French defender moved to West Ham.Marina Granovskaia allegedly received a threatening email from Saif AlrubieCredit: PAThe football agent claimed he was owed £200k from Kurt Zouma’s transferCredit: PAZouma moved to West Ham from Chelsea in 2021Credit: GettyJurors heard he told the director: “I am done trying to be nice to you.”Southwark Crown Court was told Alrubie insisted he had played a part in the £29million move in August 2021.But prosecutor Arizuna Asante said he had “nothing at all to do with the deal” and had “no right to or credible expectation to” benefit from the transfer.He added: “It is then alleged that Mr Alrubie sent Ms Granovskaia an email threatening her on May 22 2022 that if the money was not paid – that is his commission – that she might suffer the fate of someone called Kia Joorabchian who owed him money and did not pay in time.Read more news”He (Mr Joorabchian) was allegedly accosted in a restaurant, an expensive watch taken from him, and thereafter in his office confronted by about a dozen men all at one time effectively intimidating him into handing over bundles of cash in intervals until the money that was owed was paid off.”Marina was director of Chelsea from 2014 to 2022 and also served as chief assistant to Roman Abramovich for over ten years.Jurors heard she told Alrubie if Zouma sold for more than 30 million euros he would get a commission, but there was “nothing binding” about those exchanges because it was “pre contract”.When the defender was sold to Premier League rivals West Ham, Alrubie’s name was not identified on the “deal sheet”, which had been signed by Zouma, it was said.Most read in FootballMarina emailed Alrubie on August 25, 2021, explaining she did not believe the football agent was working on behalf of Chelsea.He responded on May 22, 2022, saying: “In summary, you owe me and my partners £300,000 which needs to get paid ASAP.Frank Lampard lifts lid on brutal Chelsea sacking after being summoned to boardroom by Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia “If Chelsea don’t pay it then that debt will be on you to pay. I am done trying to be nice to you. And feel free to go to your boss who’s had his recent problems and tell him that you have a big problem with me as long as you tell him the truth about your behaviour. Because in life you can’t be wrong and strong.”I look forward to hearing from you on the above matters and hopefully have a swift solution to them otherwise I guess I will see you when I see you.”I’m sure you’ve heard the story about your other friend Kia when he owed me money for a year and how he ended up paying it. Wouldn’t want you to be in the same situation just because you have a personal issue with me.”Jurors heard the message was intended to be “threatening” in a bid to force Marina to send over the cash.Mr Asante added: “He intended her to feel anxiety or distress.”Marina became known as one of the toughest negotiators in football during Abramovich’s reign at Chelsea.She left Stamford Bridge when Todd Boehly bought the team for a record £4.25billion following the UK Government sanctions placed on Abramovich.READ MORE SUN STORIESAlrubie denies sending an electronic communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety.The trial continues.Marina became known as the most powerful woman in football during her time at the clubCredit: Alamy More

      Rapist ex-Man City star millionaire Robinho spends first month in prison in tiny cell & is signed up for work programme

      by

      DISGRACED footballer Robinho has spent his first month in jail sharing a tiny 8m squared cell with murderers and fellow rapists. The ex-Man City millionaire was taken from his seafront luxury home in Santos to a hellish Brazilian prison where he plays ball with inmates who make toilet cleaner.Football star Robinho is now serving a nine year sentence for a gang-rape in Italy in 2013Credit: AFPHe has been sent to a chilling Brazilian prison in Tremembé alongside murderers and fellow rapistsCredit: Laurene Santos/TV VanguardaBrazilian jails are severely overcrowded with dozens of inmates living in one cellRobinho spent the first 10 days of his nine years in prison in full isolation as part of a standard adaptation period.The Brazilian, who has an estimated £60million net worth, was then transferred to a tiny 8m squared cell, which he shares with another inmate, CNN reports.Used to living in a lavish mansion in Manchester back in his glory days, the mini concrete block is what Robinho will now call home for the better part of a decade.The cell is said to have only one single bed, a small sink and a toilet built into the floor.Read more on RobinhoAnd a barred up window will provide just a glimpse of the outside world.Here Robinho is set to be under observation by guards and made to do tests by doctors, psychologists and social workers.While in the cell all activities are isolated and he will be given four meals each day – the first being at 6am and the last at 5.30pm.But the convicted rapist has now been allowed to participate in physical activities with other prisoners, having already taken part in a football match.Most read in FootballAll 430 inmates inside the hellhole jail are made to wear matching outfits of a white t-shirt and khaki pants – a far cry from Robinho’s typical football kit.According to CNN, the former AC Milan player was even gifted a boot by fellow prisoners as he awaits to get a job at the penitentiary unit.He will be expected to work during his time behind bars potentially making school desks and chairs or even toilet disinfectant tablets – something the P2 jail is known for.Court finds Ex-Man City star Robinho ‘brutally humiliated gang rape victim’Timeline of Robinho’s rape caseThe rape case involving Brazilian footballer Robinho spans several years. Here’s the complete timeline:

      January 22, 2013: Robinho was one of a group of six men convicted of sexually assaulting an Albanian woman in a club during his stint for AC Milan.
      2014: Brazilian media reported on the allegations against Robinho, but no formal charges were filed at that time.
      2017: Robinho was found guilty of sexual assault by an Italian court and sentenced to nine years in prison. However, he denied the charges and appealed the verdict.
      2020: After the appeal process, Robinho’s sentence was upheld by the Italian court. But due to the statute of limitations in Italy, he was not extradited to serve his sentence.
      2022: Robinho’s prison sentence is ratified.
      March 2023: Robinho surrendered his passport to authorities
      November 2023: Italian prosecutors said they felt Robinho should serve his time in Brazil.
      March 20, 2024: Brazil’s Superior Court formed a simple majority and voted for Robinho to serve the sentence in his home country.

      Robinho was pictured in a police car being transported to his new home in jailCredit: EPARobinho being arrested following his sentencingCredit: Fábio Pires/TV TribunaInmates can also take acting lessons and participate in workshops on reading, literacy, and origami.Brazil’s prisons have earned the nickname “hell on earth” and for good reason as captives have been found decapitated after horrific attacks, with drug warlords calling the shots.The country’s jails have infamously bad living conditions, with overcrowding, violence, severe punishments, and gang battles among the many issues the underfunded facilities face.Harrowing photographs show hundreds of inmates jammed into a single cell, laying head-to-toe across the floor.Claims of innocenceRobinho was one of a group of six men convicted of sexually assaulting an Albanian woman in a club in 2013.Italy issued an international arrest warrant for Robinho, but the former Premier League star managed to dodge jail for seven years while living in Sao Paulo.He says he is innocent and his defence team is filing an appeal against the decision by Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice (STJ), G1 reports.Robinho previously accused the Italian justice system of “racism” and said the encounter in 2013 was “consensual”.He told a Brazilian network TV Record on Sunday: “I hope that here in Brazil I can have the voice that I didn’t have there.””I never denied it (the encounter). I could have denied it because my DNA was not there, but I’m not a liar.”I played for four years in Italy and I got tired of seeing stories about racism. The same people who do nothing about racism, which I repudiate, are the ones who condemned me.”A Brazilian news outlet previously published audio recordings obtained by Italian authorities which included Robinho discussing the case with friends.In one clip he says: “We will punch her in her face. You will punch her in the face and say; ‘What did I do to you?'”And in another: “That is why I am laughing, I don’t care at all.”The girl was extremely drunk, she doesn’t even know who I am.”A further leaked conversation shows him saying: “If this comes out in the press, it will screw me.”READ MORE SUN STORIESRobinho played for clubs including Real Madrid, Manchester City and AC Milan, and signed a contract in 2020 to return to his first club in Brazil, Santos.However, the deal almost immediately fell apart after sponsors reportedly threatened to cut ties with the club for signing a player convicted of rape.Robinho with his wife Vivian Guglielmetti Junits on their wedding dayCredit: ReutersThe former Man City star hasn’t played football since 2020Credit: Getty More

The thugs took off with £35,000 worth of the England ace’s watches and gems – including a Rolex.Traumatised Ruby Mae, right, speaks of the horrific experience of encountering armed robbers at ex Dele Alli’s homeCredit: Tom Horton / REXDele, who played for Spurs at the time of the crime, was badly shaken by the incidentCredit: Peter Byrne / PA WireWhile the attackers remain at large, Ruby says the police were very helpful when they turned upCredit: Paul Edwards – The SunA view of Dele’s gated property in North London where the incident took placeBut Dele’s ex Ruby Mae has now told all to The Sun about how the horror unfolded – and the fact the attackers are still at large. The 29-year-old said she had been up in the bedroom while the footballer and his pals were downstairs playing pool. Ruby said she had just taken their poodle Uno outside to go toilet before the two masked men broke in.They roughed up Dele, before trying to rip the models rings and bracelets off. Read more on footballTalking for the first time about her ordeal in London, she said: “I thought I was going to be killed.“It was terrifying. I was just hoping for it all to be over and for us to be safe.”Desperate Ruby said her instant reaction was to shield Uno at the £2million North London home. The model bravely said: “When the burglar came in, my first instinct was to protect the dog.Most read in Football“I wasn’t answering any of their questions as I was in shock and didn’t know, at this point, that there were two of them — and that one was already taking the jewellery with Dele.“I couldn’t get the jewellery off as I was panicking and holding the dog behind me.Beaming Dele Alli left speechless as Pochettino delivers heartwarming message live on Sky Sports“I wasn’t answering his requests and I was terrified they were going to hurt Uno.“I didn’t know whether to tell them or not, and I didn’t even know where everything was. I wasn’t thinking straight.”The traumatised model was laying in the dark as the men with concealed weapons burst into the bedroom.She said that the thugs roughed up Dele and made him hand over three watches, including a Rolex.Ruby was in bed with the lights off and as the men grabbed her arms for her rings and bracelets.They failed to take them before panicking and fleeing with the goods.Ruby and Dele’s relationship
      Ruby and Dele split in 2021 — less than a year after the raid — with Ruby saying they “drifted” and lost their spark.
      They had met in a London bar in 2016 and for five years were one of the most photographed young couples in Britain.
      Ex-Tottenham midfielder Dele won PFA Young Player of the Year two years running, and made his Three Lions debut aged 19 in 2015.
      He scored in a 2-0 win over Sweden in the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, with Ruby, from Wigston, Leics, cheering him on with other Wags.
      But Dele lost his place in the England squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers and has yet to be recalled.
      He left Spurs for Everton in January 2022, but failed to impress and went on loan to Turkish side Besiktas.
      He returned early and has yet to play for Everton this season.
      Last year Dele revealed that one of his mum’s friends had abused him as a child.
      He also spent six weeks in rehab in the United States for an addiction to sleeping pills.
      Last Monday Dele appeared on Sky Sports as an analyst as his side were hammered 6-0 by Chelsea.
      He revealed his ambitions to play for England again saying: “You know you can set reminders on your phone. I have a reminder at 11 o’clock every day that says ‘World Cup 2026’. That’s my aim for now.
      “I know how good I can be when my head is in the right place, and I’m feeling good.”
      Ruby remains a successful model and said: “People think it’s a glamorous life but it’s quite cut-throat with a lot of pressure to look a certain way.
      “The good things are that you get to meet amazing people, work with different brands daily and travel.”

      Ruby recalled: “It was like a movie. I feared all sorts of things were going to happen.“I honestly didn’t know what was going to come next.”She had been watching Netflix thriller Dead To Me, and Dele and pals were playing pool downstairs when the burglars evaded security to get in through the back door.Ruby said: “They roughed up Dele and forced him upstairs with them into the wardrobe area, which is separated from the bedroom.“I couldn’t see the door from the bed but Dele’s friend came up first. “They came to me in a panic and I instantly realised something was wrong. His friend wouldn’t have usually come into the bedroom.When the burglar came in, my first instinct was to protect the dog.Ruby MaeDele Alli’s ex “Behind the friend, towards the door was what looked like a silhouette. I was confused and said, ‘Dele?’ and the guy didn’t answer.“I realised this guy was not the same height or body structure as Dele. He came over to me and was very intimidating.“He started asking me where everything was while trying to take off my bracelets and rings.”Ruby said the raiders began to panic when they realised how long they had been in the house.She added: “They jumped the fence out the front and ran away with whatever they had both managed to find. I don’t have a clue how they got past the security and into the house.“The police turned up a few minutes later. They were very helpful and made sure we were OK.”Met Police’s statement at the time
      Police were called at approximately 00:35hrs on Wednesday, May 13 to reports of a robbery at a residential address.
      Two males gained entry to the property and stole items of jewellery, including watches, before fleeing.
      Two male occupants at the property suffered minor facial injuries after being assaulted.
      They did not require hospital treatment. There have been no arrests. Enquiries into the circumstances continue.

      Dele, 27, his adoptive brother Harry Hickford, 27, and the pal were badly shaken.Ruby added: “It affected all of us. To get burgled is one thing, but to get burgled when you’re in is so scary. All of us were speechless.“We were all just like, ‘What the hell has happened?’ We didn’t even know what to say to each other.“We were all very emotional and up and down. We were tired and had to do the police interviews. It was all very traumatic.“Psychologically, it has had an impact. Being home alone is scarier than it once was.“Every now and then I still think about it. I can’t believe it happened. It was awful.”A watch is a watch, who cares. As long as you’re safe, that’s the most important thing.Ruby MaeDele Alli’s ex After the raid in May 2020’s Covid lockdown, police gave Dele and Ruby alarms to activate if they were in danger which signalled directly through to cops.Ruby said they randomly sounded weeks later and police turned up with a dog unit within moments.The alarms were on top of the 24-hour security they already had in place before the break-in.No arrests have been made and the attackers remain at large.Ruby said: “It’s a pretty weird feeling knowing the people who did it never got caught and are still out there.READ MORE SUN STORIES“But they took stuff that can be replaced, so I’m just glad we all got through it without something really serious happening.“A watch is a watch, who cares.
