📸 Fans caught off guard as top club unveil former Barça star
Hardly any transfer goes through these days without information about the upcoming move leaking to fans through transfer experts or journalists. However, one of these rare cases has recently been witnessed again. And it happened at FC Porto. The 30-time Portuguese champions introduced a truly high-profile new signing in Luuk de Jong before their friendly match. Previously unsuccessful at Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Dutchman played at his best for FC Barcelona in the 2021/22 season. The whole thing came completely out of nowhere. While FC Porto fans were surely delighted with the reinforcement, this example once again shows just how much magic can be found in processes like these, when they aren't public from the very first second.

UBS to pay $300 million to resolve US mortgage securities cases
ZURICH (Reuters) -UBS on Monday said it will pay $300 million to settle outstanding obligations related to the misselling of mortgage-linked investments by Credit Suisse in the United States. On August 1, Credit Suisse Securities entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve all of Credit Suisse's outstanding consumer relief obligations under the 2017 settlement for its residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) business, the bank said. Under the 2017 agreement, Credit Suisse agreed to pay $5.7 billion to settle with U.S authorities over claims it misled investors in residential mortgage-backed securities it sold in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis. The decline in mortgage payments reduced the value of the assets, leading to huge losses for investors. "With this agreement, UBS has resolved another of Credit Suisse's legacy issues, in line with its intention to resolve legacy matters at pace in a fair and balanced way, and in the best interest of all its stakeholders," UBS said. Credit Suisse agreed to pay $495 million in 2022 to settle one case brought by the New Jersey Attorney General that alleged the bank had "misled investors and engaged in fraud or deceit in connection with the offer and sale of RMBS."

Five times judges ordered this man should be deported - 25 years later he's still here
A convicted conman with a string of convictions has lost a 25 year-long fight against deportation. Alick Kapikanya was first warned he was at risk of being sent back to his native Zambia in February 1992 after he was convicted of attempted fraud. In March 2000, after serving a prison sentence for theft, he lost an appeal against deportation, but no order to remove him from the country was ever made. In February 2010, following a conviction for dishonesty, a judge once again ruled Kapikanya must be deported. He appealed against that ruling and was granted leave to remain.

It comes after the now 57-year-old was jailed for six years at Manchester Crown Court in 2014 after he led a gang of con artists that stole the identities of elderly people across Greater Manchester and the north west. The court heard the gang secretly seized ownership of their houses and then repeatedly re-mortgaged them. Horrified homeowners had to fight to reclaim legal ownership of their own houses whilst Kapikanya, then of Chatsworth Road, Stretford, travelled everywhere in chauffeur-driven limousines, stayed in luxury West End hotels and gambled away £170,000 in a single night. Sign up to the MEN Court newsletter here Four victims of the scam lived in neighbouring houses at Walkden Road, Worsley. The gang also targeted a house in Broad Lane, Hale, Cheshire, the home of a retired farmer at Malpas, Cheshire and three properties owned by a couple in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. It was the eleventh time Kapikanya had been convicted of a crime in this country. Following his release from prison he again appealed against an order to deport him. The Appeal Court heard he came to the UK in April 1983, aged 14, to be adopted. The adoption fell through and, the court heard, Kapikanya was 'assimilated into a religious cult'. Now married with a 20-year-old son, at an earlier appeal hearing Kapikanya argued he was in remission from stomach cancer and was suffering from anxiety. He was described as being 'socially and culturally integrated into the United Kingdom' with 'no familial or social links with Zambia'. Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE Barrister Zane Malik KC argued deportation would be 'unduly harsh' on Kapikanya's son. Mr Malik added 'over and above' that the fact Kapikanya has lived in the UK for 42 years also constituted 'very compelling circumstances'. Appeal Court judges Lord Justice Bean, Lord Justice Peter Jackson and Lord Justice Baker rejected the appeal and ordered Kapikanya be deported. They wrote: "[Kapikanya] has been the subject of five decisions that he should be deported over a period of a quarter of a century. The system of appeals and orders for reconsideration has served him well in enabling him to remain in the UK throughout that period. "But in my view the Secretary of State should now, at last, be allowed to put the November 2016 deportation order into effect."
