Ball in Paqueta's court over legal proceedings in wake of 'most complicated' betting case It will be left up to Lucas Paqueta as to whether he sues the FA for lost earnings and pushes for them to pay his £1million legal fees after his acquittal for spot-fixing charges, the head lawyer of his legal team has told Standard Sport. Alastair Campbell, partner at Level, who headed up the West Ham star's legal team throughout the 'unprecedented' near-two-year investigation has revealed he plans to celebrate the verdict with Paqueta and his family when the player returns to London. Campbell declared it the 'most complicated' case he has worked on. Paqueta was set to leave West Ham and join Man City for £85m on a lucrative deal in August 2023 before it first emerged he was being investigated for misconduct. Paqueta's move to City broke down immediately. ADVERTISEMENT Then, in May 2024, he was charged with four counts of intentionally influencing betting markets by deliberately getting himself booked in four Premier League matches between November 2022 and August 2023 — allegations which went unproven after a two-year investigation which ended last Friday. The result was made public on Thursday.
