Chelsea’s Neto handed one-match suspension for misconduct in Arsenal clash

Published by Sam Flores

March 13 : Chelsea forward Pedro Neto has been fined 70,000 pounds ($93,000) and suspended for one match for misconduct after he was sent off in the Premier League defeat by Arsenal this month, the Football Association said on Friday. Neto received two yellow cards in the space of three minutes – one for dissent after an Arsenal goal and the second for a foul on Gabriel Martinelli, in the 2-1 loss to the league leaders. “It was alleged that the player acted in an improper manner by failing to leave the pitch promptly and/or using abusive words towards the match official/s following his dismissal in the 70th minute,” the FA said. It was Chelsea’s ninth red card of the season across all competitions and Neto admitted the charge against him. He will miss the match against Newcastle United on Saturday. The Portuguese winger also faces UEFA disciplinary proceedings after pushing a ball boy during Wednesday’s 5-2 Champions League loss at Paris St Germain. ($1 = 0.7536 pounds) Source link

Published by Sam Flores

WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Nancy Mace plans to force a House vote next week on her resolution to release sexual misconduct and harassment reports involving members of Congress, she told NBC News on Wednesday. The South Carolina congresswoman’s resolution would require the House Ethics Committee to release all sexual misconduct or harassment reports involving members or their staffers. She introduced it after numerous outlets, including NBC News, revealed that GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, sent sexually explicit text messages to a former aide with whom he allegedly had an affair. The aide later died by suicide and an attorney for her husband confirmed the authenticity of the texts to NBC News. Gonzales denied last year that he had an affair with the aide and has suggested he is a victim of blackmail by the widower and of a a political attack as he faces a competitive primary March 3 in Texas. He has been defiant, telling reporters, “I will not resign.” When asked Tuesday whether the affair allegations were true, he responded: “What you’ve seen …

How Peter Mandelson went from US ambassador to arrested over misconduct claims

Published by Sam Flores

Peter Mandelson was released on bail this week after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Coming just days after the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the images of the former US ambassador being led away by police will likely stick with viewers for some time. The political ramifications of Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador to the US continue to reflect badly on Keir Starmer’s political judgment. While this is a story that will likely run and run, it is worth taking stock of how we got here. December 19 2024: Mandelson appointed US ambassador When Starmer chose Mandelson as ambassador, the general reaction was that it was a risk. The BBC pointed to his friendship with the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and described him as “not a baggage-free choice”. This baggage, if being friends with a known paedophile was not enough, included having to resign from government twice during the New Labour years. Matthew Lynn, in the Telegraph, went further, arguing that he would make a “terrible” ambassador because he was …

Peter Mandelson, a former U.K. ambassador to the United States, has been arrested in London over a criminal investigation into alleged ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office,” a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said in a statement on Monday, without naming Mandelson directly as is typical with arrests. The high profile British politician was taken to an undisclosed London police station for questioning over the alleged sharing of confidential material with Epstein, the statement added. It’s understood the arrest was made by the Met Police’s Specialist Crime Directorate.   His resignation in Sept. 2025 as British ambassador to the U.S. followed Mandelson’s name appearing in a release at the time of so-called Epstein files. Mandelson is considered an elder statesman of the governing Labour Party in the UK and has denied any criminal wrongdoing in his relationship with Epstein. His arrest comes after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and brother to King Charles III, was also arrested in the U.K. …
