Global soccer match-fixing scandal revealed
"European investigators say they have identified around
680 suspicious soccer matches including World Cup qualifiers and
Champions League matches in a global match-fixing scandal spanning
2008-2011.
Europol head Rob Wainwright said the joint
investigation had identified about 425 corrupt officials, players and
serious criminals in 15 countries.The fixing, which was run out of Singapore, had brought in at least 8 million euros ($A10.4 million) in proven profits.
The matches, some of which have already been subject to successful criminal prosecutions, were played between 2008 and 2011.
About 380 of the suspicious matches were played in Europe, and a further 300 suspicious matches were identified in Africa, Asia, and south and central America."
