Former Premier League footballer Richard Rufus has been jailed for seven and a half years for cheating family and friends out of £15million. A court in London convicted the longtime professional of the capital club Charlton Athletic on Thursday, among other things, for fraud and money laundering.
The 48-year-old had led his victims into believing that he was a successful currency trader and convinced them to invest in his assets. Rufus used the millions to pay off financiers for a “snowball model” and to maintain his luxurious lifestyle. He must serve at least half the sentence before he can be paroled. The ex-professional had already been declared bankrupt by a court in 2013.
Rufus played a total of 288 games for today’s third division club Charlton between 1994 and 2004 and also made six appearances for the England U21 national team.
