Xarigga Federaalka ah ee Ku Saabsan La Clippers iyo Kaalminta U Haysa Kawhi Leonard
Xarigga federaalka ah ee lagu haysto La Clippers ayaa furmay kadib markii la sheegay inay xadgudbeen xisaabta lacagaha ciyaaraha barwaaqo-sooranka si ay uga caawiyaan Kawhi Leonard, iyadoo xarunta dacwadda ee Brooklyn ay hoggaaminayso baaritaanka.
Baaritaanka Federaalka ah iyo Xukunka NBA-ga
Xarunta dacwadda ee gobolka New York ee Waqooyi Bari ayaa hoggaaminaysa baaritaanka dambiyeedka, kaas oo ku jira muddadiisa ugu horreysay, iyadoo la sheegay in hal codsiga la soo bandhigay si loo helo warbixin dheeraad ah.
Kadib baaritaanka dhowr bilood ee NBA-gu sameeyay, laamaha sharciga ayaa sheegay in La Clippers ay sameysay khilaaf badan oo ku saabsan xisaabta lacagaha, taas oo keentay in la qaado halboonka saddexda horyaalka, ganaax dhan $30 milyan, iyo in Steve Ballmer uu ka maqnaado muddo sano ah.
Dhaqaalaha iyo Heshiisyada La Xiriira
Waxaa jira sheegasho ah in La Clippers ay ka dhigteen lacag ka mid ah heshiis weyn oo ku saabsan dhismaha Intuit Dome, iyagoo u diray Kawhi Leonard heshiis sharci ah oo ku saabsan macaamiisha, iyagoo sidoo kale go'aamiyay shuruudaha heshiis muddo dheer ah oo dhan milyan dollar.
Kawhi Leonard wuxuu ku bixiyay $700,000 oo lacag ah sida xukun, halka shirkadda Daktronics ay sheegtay inay la xiriirtay hay'adda SEC, iyadoo sheegtay inay ka shaqeynayso arrintan.
Taariikhda Baaritaannada NBA-ga ee Brooklyn
Xarunta dacwadda ee New York ee Waqooyi Bari ayaa taariikh weyn leh oo ku saabsan baaritaannada NBA-ga, iyadoo 2007-kii ay xukuntay Tim Donaghy, kaas oo ahaa sarkaal ciyaaraha barwaaqo-sooranka oo aqbalay inuu ku dhaqaaqay dambiyo.
Sanadkan, xarunta ayaa xukuntay ciyaartoy kale oo hore uga tirsanaa NBA-ga, iyadoo sidoo kale la xukumay shaqaale kale oo ku saabsan dambiyo ku saabsan ciyaaraha barwaaqo-sooranka iyo dhaqaalaha.
A federal criminal investigation has launched into the LA Clippers, alleging the franchise circumvented the NBA salary cap to compensate star player Kawhi Leonard, according to The New York Times.
The Investigation and Its Scope
The probe is being led by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn and is in its earliest stages, with at least one subpoena already issued by federal prosecutors.
This marks the second time a government entity has inquired into the Clippers' financial dealings with Leonard, who must pay the NBA $700,000 as part of his punishment for the same misconduct.
NBA Punishments and the Kickback Scheme
The NBA issued severe penalties following its nearly yearlong inquiry by law firm Wachtell Lipton, which found a pattern of misconduct and multiple significant rules violations by the Clippers organization.
Investigators revealed that the team directed a kickback from a massive scoreboard contract for Intuit Dome to Leonard in the form of an endorsement deal, setting the terms of a multiyear agreement worth millions of dollars.
Broader Context and Corporate Involvement
On Sept. 2, an executive for scoreboard company Daktronics announced on a quarterly earnings call that it had been contacted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission about its dealings with Leonard, stating the company was cooperating.
The Eastern District of New York has a history of high-profile NBA investigations, including prosecuting referee Tim Donaghy in 2007 and indicting several players and coaches in 2025 for illegal sports betting schemes.
