The English Football League are investigating whether Watford supplied false account documents to the governing body.
Following a telegraph report regarding Gino Pozzo's sole takeover of the Hornets in 2014, at which point in assumed complete control from his father, Giampaolo, and the alleged use of a forged banking letter.
The EFL have started an investigation into the matter, as Watford were a Championship club at the time, which potentially see the club face a hefty fine or even a points deduction if the claims are proved.
We can confirm, following receipt of information from the Daily Telegraph, that we immediately commenced a disciplinary investigation into serious allegations made against Watford Football Club.
The club has been formally contacted by the EFL and is now required to provide a full and detailed response to the allegations.
Once that response is received, it will be fully considered by the EFL and appropriate action will be taken under our rules and regulations.
We will not be making any further comment until we are in receipt of the club's response.
