Phoenix Thoroughbreds may need to wait before racing again.
Australian horse racing officials are investigating a group raising thoroughbreds after its alleged involvement with OneCoin.
According to news reports, Racing NSW confirmed it is investigating Phoenix Thoroughbreds while a second group, Racing Victoria, is in contact with international officials regarding the company.
The allegations against Phoenix Thoroughbreds stem from witness testimony stating the company’s owner, Amer Abdulaziz Salman, was involved with OneCoin and supposedly stole $161 million.
A Phoenix Thoroughbreds spokesman told The Sydney Morning Herald it did not do anything illegal and will cooperate with authorities.
