All this week, we’re bringing you a series from the Al Jazeera Investigates podcast.

In The Men Who Sell Football, Al Jazeera’s I-Unit goes undercover to buy an English football club. But there’s a catch. The fictional buyer is a criminal and wants to use the club to launder his dirty money. That’s against the rules but that won’t stop The Men Who Sell Football from trying to close the deal.
