Chelsea employee defrauded club out of £200,000

A Chelsea employee has admitted to defrauding the organization of more than $200,000.

According to Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Claire Walsh, who served as the Premier League side’s assistant treasury manager, received a sum of £288, 520 for herself between June 8 and October 23, 2023.

The 39-year-old admitted to a charge of fraud by abuse of position and was informed by Magistrate Kieran O’Donnell that the offence was beyond our legal standing. You’ll need to go to a crown court for sentencing, where they have the necessary authority.
