Even if they get approval an independent panel also has to approve
I hope there's an independent panel who has to verify the independent panels decision after they've verified the PLs decision

Really? If chopping up Journalists or killing witnesses who were going to testify against you being a drug trafficker doesn't go against you when buying a club, I don't know what criteria excludes you.

FCA would not approve any drug trafficker so it’s probably just hyperbole

In March 2018, Marinakis was named as part of a preliminary investigation for drug trafficking, an allegation he strongly denies, saying: "I have never had anything to do with the acts for which an investigative inquiry is to be conducted, the result of which I am absolutely certain to be the confirmation of my innocence." The investigation against Marinakis could lead to "very serious charges" after the tanker Noor 1 was intercepted at the Greek port of Piraeus carrying 2.1 tonnes of heroin in 2014. According to the jailed co-owner of Noor 1, Efthymios Yiannousakis, the vessel had in fact carried an additional ton of heroin (worth $70 million) which was unloaded on the island of Crete and trafficked to mainland Europe before Greek authorities managed to intercept the rest of the cargo. The judicial council of the Piraeus Lower Court touched on all related issues and ruled that the prosecutor's order was not justified.
Nottingham Forest chairman Nicholas Randall wrote an open letter to supporters reaffirming his support for Marinakis. Randall confirmed the matter was under investigation, but that "there is no 'charge' against Marinakis and no 'prosecution' is in process."
In January 2021, and after ten witnesses of the case have already died, and after reviewing the case, the judge came to the conclusion that there was no evidence implicating Marinakis, and therefore concluded his investigation. The Piraeus Appeals Prosecutor disagreed with the investigator's proposal and returned the case file for further investigation requesting the conduct of additional investigative acts, a proposal with which the investigator disagreed. The dispute was called upon to be resolved by the judicial council, which of its own volition decided that the interrogation should continue, now separated from the Turkish financiers and traffickers of the heroin.

Lack of funds. The league doesn’t care about anything else.
