Former Anderlecht general manager Herman Van Holsbeeck was held on Thursday as part of a corruption probe linked to the transfer of Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, a source close to the investigation told AFP.
The investigation centres on alleged illegal payments made as part of Mitrovic’s moves from Partizan Belgrade to Anderlecht in 2013 and then from the Belgian side to Newcastle United, the source said. Belgian daily Le Soir reported that Henrotay is suspected of making illegal payments to Anderlecht bosses including Van Holsbeeck at the time of Mitrovic’s move from Partizan for around five million euros — then a record for the 34-time Belgian champions.
Police launched seven raids on Tuesday and Wednesday in Belgium, Monaco and London, making two arrests including Henrotay in the wealthy Mediterranean principality.
