Dani Cuesta and his wife Mireia Saez posted photos on social media of themselves holding a banner reading “LIM GO HOME” next to a property owned by Singaporean club owner Lim. A sticker reading “LIM OUT” was also placed on the front door.
When the couple tried to continue their honeymoon and leave Singapore a few hours later, Cuesta and Saez had their passports revoked at the airport. Both were placed under house arrest in their hotel and a hearing is expected to take place soon. According to the club, the Spanish embassy in Singapore assured that “both will be advised on everything necessary to resolve the incident as quickly as possible.”
The billionaire Lim took over the club in 2014 and announced a restructuring of the heavily indebted club, but he is now heavily criticized by fans. His promises to pay off the club’s debts and push ahead with the construction of the new stadium remained unfulfilled.
