  "summary": "La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for Manchester City to face severe sanctions if found guilty of breaching financial regulations. According to Tebas, equal rules for all are essential to protect the integrity and sustainability of the game.\n\nTebas has been raising concerns about Manchester City since 2017. He believes that if City are guilty, they should face the most severe sanction available, given that they have allegedly been breaking the rules for over 10 years.\n\nManchester City have denied the 115 alleged charges of breaking Premier League rules, with chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak issuing a defiant statement. No official announcement has been made by the English top-flight regarding the findings of an independent panel, which reportedly found City guilty on all but one of the charges.",
