“…Although this is a case study from Greece, it constitutes a potential template for research on an international level. By using the case of football and football clubs in Greece, what we try to do in this article is to add to understandings of the complexity of the broader motivational context of financial crime (for example, the works on fraud by Levi, 2008aLevi, , 2008bLevi, 1999;Hollow, 2014), the information available about which (as well as the information on the impact or the actual threat financial crimes pose) is often "just a marketing hype" (Levi, 2011;Levi and Burrows, 2007). In the following sections we will present: o the methods and data used for the study; o the different manifestations or a typology of financial crimes committed within football clubs; and o a discussion of our findings by locating them within the contemporary football-related and non-football-related socio-economic situation in Greece and beyond.…”
