Dundee United striker Osman Sow was held by police in his native Sweden after allegedly being found with tens of thousands of pounds in cash in his possession.

The 28-year-old was stopped by officers along with another person at Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport last Saturday.

After being interrogated, they were both released.

A police spokesman said yesterday: “The money was seized. They are both accused of fraud and/or money laundering.

“The investigation is ongoing, where the most important question to determine is where the money comes from.”

A spokesman for the Scots Championship club refused to comment. Sources claimed Sow and his companion had up to £150,000 worth of notes in their possession – though this was disputed by others.

One United insider told us: “The figure involved is also far less than what is being bandied about – it’s more like about 10 per cent of that figure.”
