Who was former Portsmouth owner Sulaiman Al Fahim? And where did the money come from?
The man who owned Portsmouth for six weeks during an ill-fated spell in 2009 has been sentenced to five years in a United Arab Emirates jail for stealing 拢5m from his wife to fund the purchase.
Sulaiman Al Fahim, who also fronted the Abu Dhabi United Group's deal to buy Manchester City in 2008, was found guilty of forgery, using forged documents and aiding and abetting.
He and an accomplice were found to have stolen the money used to buy Pompey from Sacha Gaydamak, with Al Fahim soon selling the club to Ali Al Faraj.
Al Fahim, 42, did not attend the hearing and was sentenced in his absence.
