At the same time it has also been claimed that the world’s most expensive footballer, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, manages his image rights through a company based on the Esplanade.
Geoff Cook, chief executive of Jersey Finance, said that he was unable to comment on individual cases but reinforced Jersey’s commitment to the highest standards of financial regulation.
