West Ham's Paqueta cleared of spot-fixing charges
Adwaidh Rajan, BBC Sport journalist - 31 July 2025
West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta has been cleared of spot-fixing charges
by an independent regulatory commission - almost two years after the
Football Association launched an investigation into him.
The FA started their investigation in August 2023 and the Brazil
international was charged in May last year for allegedly getting booked
deliberately "for the improper purpose of affecting the betting market".
Paqueta, 27, was facing the prospect of a lifetime ban if found guilty.
The four charges against him related to a Premier League game against
Leicester City on 12 November 2022, as well as 2023 fixtures against Aston
Villa on 12 March, Leeds United on 21 May and Bournemouth on 12 August.
The regulatory commission found these four charges to be "not proven"
following the hearing.
Paqueta was also charged with two counts of failing to co-operate with the
investigation after breaching "FA Rule F3 in respect of alleged failures
to comply pursuant to FA Rule F2", which relates to providing information
and documents.
He also denied these charges, but the regulatory commission found them to
be proven and will "decide an appropriate sanction for these breaches at
the earliest opportunity".
"Since the first day of this investigation, I have maintained my innocence
against these extremely serious accusations," said Paqueta.
"I can't say anything more at this time, but I would like to express how
grateful I am to God and how eager I am to return to playing football with
a smile on my face.
"To my wife who never let go of my hand, to West Ham United, to the fans
who always cheered me on, and to my family, friends and the legal team who
have supported me - thank you for everything."
Paqueta's lawyer, Alastair Campbell, told BBC Radio 5 Live his client is
"very emotional and very delighted" and has "an enormous weight off his
chest".
The former AC Milan and Lyon player scored four goals in 33 Premier League
appearances for West Ham during the 2024-25 season.
Paqueta was in tears after being booked against Tottenham in May, with his
wife Maria Fournier saying in an Instagram post on the same evening they
had "been living this nightmare for two years".
After being charged by the FA last year, he said he was "extremely
surprised and upset".
Paqueta joined the Hammers from Lyon for an initial ￡36.5m in August 2022
and helped the club win the Europa Conference League during his debut
season.
He was reportedly set for a ￡85m move to Manchester City, external in
August 2023 before the FA investigation came to light.
Campbell said there "certainly" could be legal implications regarding the
collapse of that possible "dream move", but added they will wait for the
full written reasons before deciding whether to take any action.
West Ham vice-chair Karren Brady said the club are "pleased" by the
verdict and "resolutely stood by" Paqueta throughout the process.
She added: "It has been a difficult time for Lucas and his family, but he
has remained absolutely professional throughout and he is now looking
forward to drawing a line under this episode, as is everyone at West Ham
United."
The FA said it is awaiting the written reasons from the regulatory
commission and "will not be commenting further until that time".
