Former Super Eagles captain, Austin “Jay Jay” Okocha, on Friday appeared in a court in Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom, on charges of money laundering.
The 45-year-old made no plea when he appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on two charges in the closed-door hearing.
Okocha arrived the court wearing white trainers with black trousers, a white shirt and suit jacket on top of a puffer jacket.
He faces one charge in relation to alleged acquisition, use and possession of criminal property, and another relating to allegedly concealing, disguising, converting and transferring criminal property.
The incidents were alleged to have happened in 2015.
Police began an investigation in 2015 which spanned two years before charges were brought against Okocha and six others – five of whom are alleged to have carried out fraud related to north-east businesses.
Okocha was granted bail, however, no date has been fixed for his next court appearance.
The footballer also has a court case in Lagos over alleged tax evasion.
