6 Sevilla players involved in the Shirtum cryptocurrency project fraud case have been prosecuted, with investor losses potentially exceeding 24 million euros
According to Cryptopolitan, a court in Barcelona is investigating six former Sevilla FC players for their alleged involvement in a fraud case related to the Shirtum crypto project.
Newly submitted criminal complaints indicate that the project is accused of selling fake NFTs and manipulated tokens to investors, resulting in losses of over 24 million euros, approximately 28 million dollars. The players named in the complaint include Papu Gómez, Lucas Ocampos, Ivan Rakitić, Nico Pareja, Alberto Moreno, and Javier Saviola. Additionally, El Correo de Andalucía reports that Diego Perotti and Marcelo Guedes were also involved in promoting the project. Thirteen Spanish investors have filed a lawsuit with the Barcelona Investigative Court No. 5, claiming they lost all their funds.
It is reported that Shirtum was promoted as a digital collectibles trading platform for football and sold "cinematic NFTs" containing player photos and recordings, priced at around 450 euros each. However, the complainants claim that these NFTs were never minted on any blockchain and cannot be transferred or resold. Furthermore, Shirtum's promoters previously obtained about 3 million euros in BNB from investors for the development of iOS and Android mobile applications, but the app was never launched, and the related funds were neither refunded nor accounted for.
