At Moscow's CSKA club, where Swiss Fabio Celestini has recently taken over as head coach, an unusual and serious problem has arisen. Such cases are extremely rare in world football: a head coach may face punishment in his home country for salary received from a Russian club, according to his own country's laws.
According to Blick, the issue arose when CSKA's title sponsor, "VEB Bank," was added to the EU sanctions list. Therefore, under Swiss law, it is legally prohibited to receive payments from legal entities or individuals under sanctions. This complicates Fabio Celestini’s work at the Russian club and his legal ability to receive his salary.
The most interesting thing is that if the Swiss specialist transfers his earnings in Russia to his bank account in Switzerland, legal action may be taken against him. Specifically, Celestini may face up to 5 years in prison. In this situation, he is required not to spend the money earned in Russia in Switzerland. Only in this way can the coach avoid criminal liability.
How the CSKA management and Fabio Celestini will resolve this problem is still unclear. The coach’s salary in Russia and the issues related to the laws of the EU and Switzerland have become a hot topic in the football world.
This case serves as another vivid example of how political and economic sanctions can affect sport in international football. CSKA fans hope that all obstacles in the new coach’s work will be resolved and that the team will move forward. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
