Authorities: 17 arrests in match-fixing probe

Published: 11.20.09, 16:22 / Israel News

German prosecutors investigating match-fixing in football say 15 people in Germany and two in Switzerland have been arrested and that about 200 games in Europe are affected in what an UEFA representative called the biggest match-fixing scandal in Europe.

 

Police said more than 50 raids have been conducted in Switzerland, Germany and Britain and that documents, cash and valuables have been seized. Authorities believe they have arrested the leaders of the gang suspected of manipulating games to make money on betting. No identities were released, although they said about 200 people are suspected of being involved. (AP)
