Newcastle United's bid to stop material seized in a 2017 raid of St James' Park being used by HM Revenue & Customs as part of an investigation into an alleged multi-million-pound tax scandal has reportedly failed.
The Telegraph report that Newcastle went to court to challenge the legality of the 2017 raid, which took place on the same day as a raid on West Ham's London Stadium.
Officials working on behalf of the tax office seized financial records, as well as mobile phones and office computers under the umbrella of Operation Loom.
