The fraudster was jailed in 2014 but it's now been revealed he had an impact in the SPFL.
A fraudulent footballer's impact in the SPFL has been revealed, after Mickael Antoine-Curier admitted to losses in the region of £14k.
Running some of his schemes under the name of former Chelsea player Gael Kakuta, according to The Athletic, a pattern of fraudulent behaviour emerged, having failed to make the grade as a professional and entering lower league football. His schemes originally started in England, including one in West Yorkshire, where a woman "had been duped into paying a £4,633 spa bill and £2,397 for the hire of a Range Rover because Abalimba said he did not have his credit card to hand.
In October 2014, he admitted 12 charges of fraud, as per the report. Another 19 offences "were taken into consideration, taking the total amount of money defrauded to £163,000." Antoine-Curier told The Athletic the extent of which he was hit by the scam artist. Abalimba arrived at Hamilton on trial in late 2013 and soon proceeded to raid the striker's accounts by purchasing designer clothes, hotel rooms, flights and "all sorts" to the tune of over £14k.
