A FORMER Premier League footballer is facing trial after allegedly carrying out a £2.5million investment fraud.
Richard Rufus is accused of luring investors into a massive foreign currency scam.
The ex-Charlton star, 47, then spent the cash on “personal expenses and lifestyle”, it is said.
Rufus was due to stand trial later this month but it was delayed as no judge was available.
A new date has been provisionally set for November 20 next year.
