$13.5M Frozen Amid Probe into Premier League Crypto Sponsor
The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) has frozen approximately $13.5 million in assets as part of an ongoing investigation into Premier League football club Aston Villa's cryptocurrency sponsor, BitRss reported.
The investigation centers around the financial dealings of BitRss' partner, a company linked to Aston Villa's sponsorship deal with the crypto firm.
Details on the specific allegations and charges are not publicly available at this time. The NCA's actions indicate that they have reason to believe the assets may be connected to illicit activities.
