The management of the APL can remove points from Chelsea because of the club's financial fraud with salaries. This is reported by The Guardian.
According to the source, we are talking about the period when the president of Chelsea was Roman Abramovich, who made secret payments of tens of millions of pounds, which violates the rules of financial fair-play.
The payments were made through the Russian businessman's offshore companies over a ten-year period and the recipients included Eden Hazard, Antonio Conte's assistant and representatives of Willian and Samuel Eto'o.
If Abramovich's payments are found to have breached APL financial rules, the league could take away points from Chelsea.
