Controversy
In 2017, the club was purchased by a Chinese investor. This led to a flurry of seemingly irrational transfer activity and suspicions of match fixing.{{Cite web|url=https://olomouc.idnes.cz/mohelnice-fotbal-cinsky-investor-sazky-mafie-korupce-premysl-buba-xialong-ji-anping-football-club-iae-/olomouc-zpravy.aspx?c=A180110_171623_olomouc-zpravy_stk|title=Čínský investor přinesl do fotbalového klubu peníze i stín sázkařské mafie|date=2018-01-11|website=iDNES.cz|access-date=2018-01-12}} In early 2018, the Czech Football Association reported their findings about the situation to the police and the organized crime department launched an investigation of the club and its owners.{{Cite web|url=https://fotbal.idnes.cz/sazky-podvody-priklady-mohelnice-dln-/fot_dsouteze.aspx?c=A180202_205217_fot_dsouteze_rou|title=Výsledek na prodej.
