Kompany car firm facing rap after insurance probe by Greater Manchester Police



The Manchester City skipper owns 300 of the 900 shares in Elite Limousines VIP Protection Services, a firm who chauffeur players and officials around town.

They signed an enormous contract with disgraced City chief executive Garry Cook during his time in charge of day-to-day operations but are accused by Greater Manchester Police of failing to have their cars appropriately insured.

Mohammed Fayaz Hussain, one of Elite’s co-owners, will appear before Manchester Magistrates’ Court on December 20.

Police pulled over five Elite vehicles on the way to City’s ground for their final home Premier League game last season against Stoke on May 17.

Hussain, one of three shareholders in Elite, faces three counts of employing an unlicensed driver and five charges of using a motor vehicle without third party insurance. The Elite shareholder also faces five counts of using a private hire vehicle that was not displaying the correct plate or disc information and one count of withholding information to obtain motor insurance.

The 900 shares in the company are divided equally between Alyas Hussain, Mohammed Fayaz Hussain and Kompany.

Among their fleet, they boast a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Flying Spur, Bentley Arnage, Chrysler Limousine, Mercedes S Class, Mercedes People Carrier, Mercedes 16-seater, Hummer H2 and Lincoln Navigator.

Although City have a sponsorship deal with Jaguar/Land Rover, City players and staff often used Elite for journeys around town, while Cook used the firm to take him to his home in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, if he had been out with clients and had taken drink.

City’s players had a free run under Cook’s regime and Elite were handed a massive contract by the club for chauffeur services.

Kompany has been a director of Elite since October 14, 2010 and is named on Elite’s share register.

Elite, who who also have a contract with Manchester United, even took promotional photographs of their fleet outside the Etihad Stadium

What on earth is a hugely overpaid professional player doing having shares in an unlicensed taxi/PH form?

Still I'm pleased they have been outed.

Be a shame to crush that lot though.
