Det skyldes en whistleblower, og så skyldes det endnu en gang meget, meget god journalistik.
25:13
Og, og, og det kan man jo faktisk godt undre sig over.
25:15
Fordi det er jo ikke fordi, at der ikke var rejst røde flag om Manchester City, før vi begyndte at skrive de her ting i 2018.
25:21
Altså, jeg går ud fra, at I har før snakket om Nick Harris.
25:24
Nick Harris begynder jo at skrive om dem tilbage i 2009-10 stykker.
25:29
Altså de får de her ejere i 2008.
25:32
Øh, meget, meget tidligt er der jo nogle røde flag omkring, hvordan deres sponsorindtægter lige pludselig eksploderer ret voldsomt, og vi kan se, de får alle de her sponsorater fra Abu Dhabi.
27:56
Men er du, er du decideret overrasket over, at du nu ser de her voldsomme konsekvenser i City-sagen, men at der ikke har været lignende konsekvenser i mange af de andre sager, som, som Football Leaks har afdækket? For det har der vel ikke.

In 2018, Jeppe published an investigation into the system of discipline at Right to Dream Ghana using testimony from four former students.
33:00
The main criticism from the players we talked to were the use of, uh, corporal punishment at the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana.
33:09
If players did something that the leaders at the academy didn't like, it could be like using the phone during the daytime, it could be losing a ball or something like that, or just didn't show enough enthusiasm, they told us they could be, uh, punished, and the, the most used punishment was, uh, what they called kneel down.
33:33
So basically, they were told to kneel in the, uh, baking sun, uh, for an undisclosed amount of time until the leader told them they could, uh, get back up and, and move on with the day.
33:46
And that could be one, two, or three hours.
33:49
Uh, they also told about, uh, incidents of, uh, where they had been, uh, caned, and one of them even slapped.

But not everyone is happy, as Danish journalist Jeppe Larsen Bruch explains.

For many years, I would say the atmosphere around FC Nordsjælland was really positive.
