Preußen Münster has initiated investigative steps against two investors. The leader of the Regionalliga West speaks of possible involvement in arms trading.

Regional league club SC Preußen Münster has announced that it intends to investigate two of its investors. Previously, the Münster-based online medium “RUMS” had reported in a letter to its subscribers about an investment at the leader of the Regionalliga West, which is now forcing the club to take further steps.

According to the Prussians themselves, it was only after the share purchase had been registered that the club became aware of “further connections of the share subscribers in business sectors which, from our point of view, are not compatible with the values of the SCP (…)”.

The exact accusation: the new investors, who have not been named by the club, are also said to be active in the arms trade. “An investor who also has interests in the arms industry through other lines of business cannot be reconciled with the values of the club,” the Prussians explicitly distance themselves in their statement from what they say are the previously unknown connections of the financiers.

Now, it is time for a reappraisal. “The careful and responsible review of the matter, as well as the initiation of the necessary steps to stay on our path, are now the declared goal of SC Preußen,” the club pointed out. It also said SCP regretted “that this situation, which was challenging for all sides, came about, but the club still stands by its values with conviction. “

In addition, the investment was also a rather small one and not connected with the rebuilding of the stadium or other construction measures. The club stated “that the investors have no connection to the stadium project (…) and have acquired less than 1% of the shares.”
