The Premier League have reportedly increased the charges levelled against Manchester City from 115 to 130.
Last Monday, the hearing into the alleged violations came to an end, and both parties gave their closing remarks.
The three-member of the panel will now have a deadline to make a decision.
The accusations made against City encompass a wide range of Premier League regulations pertaining to sponsorships, expenditure, and failing to provide proper financial information during a nine-season period, and they date back 14 years.
City were facing 115 accusations when the hearing was initially announced.

However according to The Metro, due to some misunderstanding over the Premier League’s charge breakdown, the total is now 130.
Although a decision is anticipated within the next six to eight weeks, the losers of the case are likely to file an appeal after that.
The Premier League have already paid around £50 million in legal fees to pursue the matter in court.
City argue that they have “irrefutable evidence” that challenges the accusations against them.
On the pitch side of things, Man City are currently struggling as they presently lie 4th in the Premier League standings following just a win one win in eight matches across all competitions.
One of the highlights within this bad spell was when they surrendered a three-goal lead against Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League at the Etihad stadium.
