The breaches stretch from the 2009-10 season to
the 2017-18 campaign, the league added. City were acquired by
their Abu Dhabi-based owners, City Football Group, in 2008.
The club are alleged to have breached rules relating to the
provision of accurate financial information, "in particular with
respect to its revenue (including sponsorship revenue), its
related parties and its operating costs," the league said.
The club are alleged to have not fully disclosed managerial
remuneration in each of the seasons from 2009-10 to 2012-13.
City are also charged with failing to comply with Premier
League's rules requiring clubs to follow UEFA's financial fair
play regulations from the 2013-14 to 2017-18 seasons and failing
to follow the Premier League's rules on profit and
sustainability from the 2015-16 to 2017-18 seasons.
"The members of the Commission will be appointed by the
independent Chair of the Premier League Judicial Panel," the
Premier League said in a statement.
"The proceedings before the Commission will... be confidential
and heard in private.
"The Premier League will be making no further comment in respect
of this matter until further notice."
City did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
