Luke Edwards delivers verdict on Newcastle United takeover after WTO report

The World Trade Organisation has released a report yesterday that could have a major impact on the Newcastle United takeover process.

The 125-page World Trade Organisation (WTO) report states that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was behind beoutQ – a pirate satellite TV and streaming service that illegally broadcast sporting events.

In fact, KSA facilitated the piracy of Premier League matches and failed to stop the beoutQ pirate operation and blocked moves to shut it down.

The Telegraph journalist, Luke Edwards, who has been covering the Newcastle takeover saga, has delivered his understanding of the report in a series of tweets.
