Portsmouth chief Peter Storrie charged on tax evasion


Premier League boss Peter Storrie was charged with tax evasion yesterday.
The Portsmouth chief executive, 57, was arrested during a three-year probe into corruption in sport.
He is accused of cheating the public revenue between July 1, 2003 and August 12, 2005 by concealing a £250,000 signing-on fee for Senegalese star Amdy Faye. Prosecutors allege that the money was put into the account of agent Willie McKay with no tax or national insurance paid.
