"Gabriel visited Apollon several times with Heskey, and we are keen to reach out to Heskey in respect of what he knew about Gabriel's purported plans for the club and whether Gabriel also misrepresented his financial position to the former striker."
"High Court documents suggest that Gabriel claimed a personal net worth of nearly £500m to entice club officials. However, the deal collapsed when the promised instalments never arrived. Apollon Limassol has now initiated £8m legal proceedings for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation against the businessman."
"While Heskey is not accused of any personal wrongdoing, his association with the deal has made him a person of interest for legal investigators in Cyprus and the United Kingdom. It is believed that the former striker had been lined up to take over as the director of football at the club once the acquisition was finalised."
Former Liverpool and England striker Emile Heskey has become a person of interest in a multi-million-pound legal dispute involving a failed takeover of Cypriot football club Apollon Limassol. British businessman Craig Gabriel proposed acquiring a significant stake in the club, with Heskey serving as the prominent face of the deal. Gabriel claimed a personal net worth of nearly £500 million to attract club officials, but the promised investment instalments never materialized. Apollon Limassol has initiated £8 million legal proceedings against Gabriel for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation. Legal representatives are seeking to question Heskey about his knowledge of Gabriel's plans, as the former striker had accompanied Gabriel on multiple trips to Cyprus and was reportedly lined up to become director of football.
