Abraham ‘Bram’ Schrier is unknown in the football world. He once made it to assistant coach at Royal Antwerp FC, but in recent years he has mainly presented himself at football clubs as a football agent. One who said he had good relations with football clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City or Anderlecht. For example, he knew 756,000 euros separately from the weeks of the chairman, who never saw the money again.

To gain confidence, to reveal various documents proving his creditworthiness. For example, he let his suspicions believe that he owned a hotel complex, which could serve as collateral for loans. But those documents turned out to be false. Schrier also brandished UEFA licenses, which showed he was a licensed football agent. Which are also clearly counterfeit.

“Disgracefully Misled”

The Dutchman Ronald Colpa also crossed Bram Schrier’s path. When a young guy Colpa was seriously injured in an accident, two of his friends died and he ended up in a wheelchair. “De entrusted his debt to Bram Schrier and lost it,” pleaded his lawyer Philippe Carsau. “He has been scandalously misled.” Colpa himself calls the last ten years ‘a rollercoaster’. “He shared my last money with me, I now live on a compensation payment. I am financially broke.”
