UK authorities freeze a £13.5 million ($13.5 million) account linked to the Premier League as part of an investigation into crypto sponsor Sorare, according to multiple reports. The action follows a January 2025 order from the Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
Reporting ties the targeted funds to payments associated with a reported $140 million sponsorship arrangement involving Sorare. CoinDesk adds that law enforcement confirms it has found no wrongdoing by the Premier League itself, while other coverage focuses on the court-ordered freeze connected to the Sorare investigation.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: one highlights the sponsorship-linked nature of the funds and stresses that the Premier League is not accused of wrongdoing, while the other concentrates on the legal process and the amount frozen. Both describe the freeze as a temporary measure within a broader UK crypto-related crime probe.
