French soccer giants PSG have become one of the few clubs who have managed to dominate global football despite not having a rich history. Although the club was based in the capital of France, it was never considered a powerhouse in Europe with clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Barcelona being far more dominant. However, this changed after the club was acquired by Qatari Sports Investments back in 2o12.

Following the acquisition, the French club became one of the most influential clubs in the world of soccer. This was mainly due to the influx of cash by the Qatari royal family that allowed PSG to acquire talents like Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappe, and Lionel Messi. However, it seems that the president of the club might have gone through illegal means to get what he wanted. Moreover, boxing legend Mike Tyson’s son Amir Tyson was also quick to share a post revealing the accusations against him
